Our 2-year old plum died so now we’re trying a “Fantasia” nectarine. 400-500 chill hours is doable here.

We’re trying to propagate lemon grass after dividing canes from our outdoor plant (hope it overwinters). The centers of the canes have popped up — thinking this means positive water pressure and that may mean the canes are taking in water so this may work.
Our Mandarin tree 🌳 is ready for as-needed harvest!
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.
- 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!
Tree says “It's not fall, but spring!”, Other Tree says “FALL!”
The Lapins Cherry has some confused or mutated buds. It’s probably nothing to worry about. The dormant appearing plum tree, however, did not look well so I checked if it was alive. There’s still some green in a cutting so… I suppose it’s still alive. I needed to prune that branch anyway.
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? 🤷♂️🌳
