The Meyer lemon tree is still blossoming, even though it's already full of green egg-sized lemons. The internet says this is normal, and the honeybees seem to appreciate it.

I started two tomato plants in 5 gallon buckets, as an experiment, and they now have fruit forming. They need to be watered every day, and I've been giving them nitrogen every few days. Tomato plants grow best in the ground, and I probably won't ever try this again.

I'll pick my first squash tomorrow. It's amazing how fast they have developed. I still have eight quarts of freeze dried squash from last year, that I'll finally consign to the compost pile. Squash was the only vegetable that I overdid last year, but there was some value in having lots of extra food available, in case of emergency.

The crazy evangelist is back in the woods, living like John The Baptist. He asked me if I needed any prayers, as I walked by. I said no, but Halo only growled at him. Halo does not like this guy.

I saw an odd animal hunting in the wildest area. It was maybe a small coyote.
It didn't have the thick tail, or bushy fur that I expect to see on a coyote, and had a weird hopping gait as it ran ahead of us. Was it a Chupacabra? I'm packing a camera, for the next time I see it.

props. flash brain moment.

south & west is the whole of it. because of where we are on the Earth, angle of axis wih respect to plane of rotation but it was two words, this whole time: south west.

you had the idea complete, I didn't till just now.

There's shadows, building shade, how much you water, compost coffee grounds copper aluminum all that crap, lime pine but it was plant south & west. the rest is afterthought.
