My poor baby maples have never received so many malevolent glares as they have this year. They thank you Pearl, ever so much.

Take a peek at these bush cherries from Edible Acres. A quick read shows 5 varieties ranging from 3 feet to 8 feet tall.

I got pictures to load this morning too. One at a time, but it did it.

Thanks, Jay, I checked them again. This morning I witnessed sunbeams kissing my babies! Yes, the sun does have further to travel, they will get sun for the needed 6 hours in a few weeks. I think one branch coming down will do it. Good idea. It's not as bad as I imagined. They will stay where they are. Yay! less work!

Thank you for holding my hand.

We just came home with 2# of beautiful fresh shrimp on ice.
All 26 of them...    13 shrimp per pound! Holy cow batman these are some super colossal size shrimp.
The ziplock bag they were in has a temperature monitor to let you know they are still fresh and safe to consume!

From Aquaprawnics? Awesome!

One note about sunchokes, one season of mowing killed my 3-year-old patch. Mowing was assigned elsewhere, and they were gone when I thought to see how prolific they were that early fall. So, if they aren't actually in a bed, not quite so unkillable. The patch had been 4 feet wide by 30 feet long.

I've seen cattails growing in a roadside ditch that appeared to get really dry in our seasonal drought. I never stopped to verify how dry it was to the touch, but at 25 mph, visually, it matched hard concrete clay. During the rainy seasons, there were a couple of inches of standing water.

Well, there are two of them.  They haven't grabbed hold of the trellis yet.

I planted them at what I thought was just outside of the edge of shade of a tulip poplar fefore leaf out. Nope. They are in the shade.
Ooops. If a plant is under 18 inches tall, how much clay do I need to excavate if I want to move them to full sun? I want to give them the best opportunity to succeed, as I am pushing it's zone.

That's awesome Burra!

Here's the finished trellis and my babies.
