Quick updates from a quick trip to Houston.
My favorite pecan tree is loaded this year. We had plenty of rain, and so now we just need to get thru the rest of the season with no pecan blowing tropical storms for a bumper crop.
I still got wood-chips to spread, and they are composting down great in the piles. Last time, I buried a load of lemon rinds in the chips, and that really composted up nice in only a few weeks.
The newest beds for my mom are working out great, and my brother is helping to decommission beds that are furthest from the house.
There's been a terrible infestation of pharoh ants, with a perk that they have completely displaced the fire ants. Hopefully these guys will atrophy at some point ...they're everywhere.
Everything I planted last couple of visits seem well without much attention: 1 peach, 2 date palms, 1 pomegranate, bunching onions, and mint. No trace of the garlic, but I bet the bulbs are down under the chips somewhere.
