>>>i think we call that guerilla gardening/orchard land. <<<

LOL we may all be doing that with the legislation 0bammy has in the pipeline - like H.R. 2749

Glad you are getting things ‘buzzing’ with the bees soon.

The way things sound down there, you won’t have to worry about the washes for right now... Hope you get some nice GENTILE showers in the meantime.

Good to see you back online.

Geesh, can’t get brain engaged tonight...

Not only caned = canned
but now gentile = gentle

OK, no smart comments either.

Hope the bee links were helpful.

>>>>Hope you get some nice GENTILE showers in the meantime.<<<<

I am getting one of those nice “gentile” showers here this morning. I was headed over to the old house to turn the soaker hose on the garden today but we have nice slow “gentle” showers so I can sit and relax.

The weather has cooled down just a tad - most days are high 90’s instead of triple digits. This is the 2nd day of slow showers we’ve had in a week and my tomatoes that I nursed through the heat of July and August are FULL of blossoms again!!! YEA!!! I am hoping to have another ginormous crop of tomatoes, peppers and squash in about a month. Don’t think the cuke vines are healthy enough to put out anything else but I haven’t pulled them cause I should at least have enough for salads.

The legislation proposed was part of the rational in purchasing the particular home that we did. We don’t have what we planned - but we’ve got this hodgepodge of gubmint land that’s hard to get to around us. Mostly grown over with cedars and scrub oak. First thing is that it’s going to be easy for me to just set my “orchard” trees over in that area. It’s wet enough that I should not have to water. (springs from the limestone) And it’s rough enough and thick enough and far enough out of the way that nobody would pick it as a hiking/recreational area. I just have to keep encouraging the natural growth of things to keep it unaccessible.
