I hace two things.........

Well actually, I have more than two things, but these are the two ~latest~
things.

A baby lemon grove. I cut open a lemon one day and some of the seeds had
tiny roots starting to grow out of them, so I planted them. Two have
sprouted in that pot. Then I got creative and potted a lemon that was
definitely going mushy. Months later, four more lemon sprouts appeared. They
take a hellishly long time to germinate. So I'm the proud owner of six tiny
lemon trees. Anyone know how long it takes till they bear?

The second thing is a sore toe. Dropped the vacuum on it two weeks ago,
startled teh puppeis with all the hopping and swearing. It got worse. In
fact, it got infected. Saw the doc this a.m. and he referred me to Auntie
Biotix and told me to stay off of it for a while. Fat chance with T'giving
roaring down upon us!

AND the nail has turned yucky shades of black and blue; doc says it's going
to come off.
Eeeeew!!

I would assume it would be right away, but the fruit may be smallish?

I get the impression that it takes 4-6 years before citrus seedlings
start to produce fruit. Apple, pear, plum and cherry trees bought at
the nursery 3-5 feet tall (probably 2-3 years old) usually produce two
years after transplanting. I think flowering only happens on 2nd year
and older growth for most fruit trees.

My neighbor just planted a mess of grapes and fruit trees along the
property line - I get to take advantage of the overhang - reciprocal
services for me letting them work out drainage and gardening issues
which involved moving dirt and removing two trees and some bushes on my
property. They also felt a little guilty for building their house so
the lilacs didn't get sun and died. Now I gots a purty redwood fence
and a level bush-free area for free. And fruit. Some neighbors are nice.

those toe nails are troublemakers anyway. if you remember, i had my
left big toenail removed permanently due to ingrown toe nails. best
operation ive ever had done. and it really doesnt look that weird,
even.

I'm no legal expert, but I believe the term for this is "easement."
Which means, if the "overhang" is "technically" on your property, you
get to take advantage of it, by law, even though it is from your
neighbour's property.

I love you.
