Unearthed and powered up a Raspberry Pi 3. Took a bit of time to remember how I configured it for HomeBridge. Upgrading to Debian Stretch for the heck of it.


Dancy Mandarins are so very close to perfect ripeness. Need to blush a bit more toward red.


  1. Valencia sloooowly ripening & 2) mandarins rapidly coloring but still a month out from peak sweetness


One more month until these mandarins are perfectly sweet. Patience!



We’re starting to get some color on our Mandarins. These should be perfectly sweet by end of December 🌳


This “Beauty” Japanese plum has been quite temperamental. No idea if it should be defoliated by now - happened last year too. Too much water? Sensitive to daylight time? 🤷‍♂️🌳


My almost 2 year old plum is so fickle. It’s senescing early. After digging into the soil, I think it is water deprived. So trying adding 1 gallon per hour emitter as 0.5 gallon per hour emitters are not delivering nearly enough water. I’m also annoyed at the borer bugs.
