Spend the money reforming the drainage in flood prone areas. Building dams or supplying AC to old and poor folks without it. Expand the power grid to handle the load. Provide generators or whatever helps the voters who suffer from these disasters.

Instead they spend money paying people to glue themselves to runways and the likes of that teenager crying.

They could do something

Same with gun crimes. Guns will not be banned so they sit on their hands. Improve school security. Lock em up and keep criminals in jail. Charge their parents if they are juveniles.

You sound like me; fortunately I started planting about 35 or 40 years ago.

I get apples, cherries, prunes, peaches, pears, plums, nectarines, and apricots from my orchard up here.

At my home down south I planted avocados, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, tangerines, and tangelos.

It’s a 674 mile trip for me to pick my citrus and avocados (yes I still own the house and property down there) but it’s worth it for the flavor, my son does the irrigation down there once a week.

I always tell my wife that one of these days I will be out in the orchard working on a hot day and decide to “rest for a while in the shade of one of my trees” and probably will just never get up again.

Can’t think of a better way to go to GLORY.

I guess it’s only dirty considering where you plant it.

I had my Aunt in Green Bay, Wisconsin send me some of their native Black Walnuts about 30 years ago (I currently live in northern California).

The ones I planted out on the mountain side haven’t done very well but the ones I planted down by the spring and in the creek bottom are doing great.

I found they are not nattracive trees.

We had some on our property in NY. THey leafed out late, dropped their leaves early in the fall, and produced walnuts irregularly. Some years were great, others not. And when they were dropping walnuts, it was almost impossible to mow without getting clonked on the head with walnuts and then there was the stepping on them factor when you were mowing.

They do not make a good landscape tree, but their wood is highly valuable and the nuts are worth the effort to harvest. They are a good tree to plant in the wild.

increase the risk of wildfires

Saltwater algae may be better. It's waterlogged, so doesn't host wildfires. Offshore acreage is practically free and unlimited. Unfortunately, the EPA has determined that the bony-eared ratvoter assfish is at risk of extinction, from free-food diabetes.
