Rose stout, I like that.

I have discovered trees thin themselves also, and not always all at once.

@@shoshanasplace Thank you for the reply.

@@josephinehorneman1667 It was! Next you'll see what I've done with them.

@@josephinehorneman1667 I feel silly! I should have known. Now I do!

@@josephinehorneman1667 And such lovely grapes they are!

It's one if the many chores necessary in the springtime.

My thoughts exactly! There are still many hours of light after 4 pm. In the Netherlands there are seven hours of sunlight after closing time in this season.

The height is perfect. One can view the garden (a way of sharing) yet there is privacy from immediate neighbors.

Definitely! It's worth the wait for them to grow tall enough to do their job well.

Yes, it is better to return to a thriving jungle. I have my work cut out for me and plenty of food for the guinea pigs and rabbits.

How embarrassing...😅.

The time frame varies, usually after five to six weeks I check them. If I see roots beginning to for then I know it will be a couple weeks more so from six to eight weeks. Sometimes I find roots develped enough to transfer with the first check, other times the roots are too small and have to grow more. Once, I was too late; roots developed but there wasn't enough soil to sustain them.

I had 5hat problem when my trees were young. For quite a few years I thought I'd never get fruit and even worried about my trees' survival. I didn't prune to insure they had enough mass to survive. Once they reached enough density the leaves and flowers stayed on. This is true for all my citrus trees. I still have that problem with my younger, smaller trees. The winds blow up the mountain straight from the sea. Other fruit trees lose flowers, too. I'm so happy when I get fruit..

There are pros and cons of both.

Nooooo, this is so sad. How can one person be so stupid?????

I'm interested in learning about the syrup. I'll check it out.

I like how they maintained their color. They are crispy dry but rehydrate well with flavor.

I had so many for giving away and freezing.

True! The house carried the scent for over a day.

Today, my young students were able to touch and interact with them. Absolutely adorable!

They really are! Today they started hopping around the pen. Adorable!

Total cutie! I was surprised he got so far from the nest. I hope he stays with the others, though. He'll be warmer and get his meals.

They are definitely oranges. Yes, they still have some green on them; they are tastier when picked not fully orange. They quickly turn fully orange after picking and last longer than oranges that ripen fully on the tree.

Yes! It's a very satisfying feeling.

It is kind of fun to do these things myself.
