  • Not in the peach tree, luckily, but there are a million birds & nests in the bushes around my house. I live in the home town of John James Audubon.

    Robin are outstandingly successful gatherers, no wonder there are so many of them. My wife and I can see a nest from our living room window, and the parents make trips every 5min or so out to the yard and come back with giant mouthfuls of worms. I have no idea how they find the so quickly in the dry grass, but the babies get fat quick and are out on their own in no time.








  • this seems like a prime use case for AI image recognition tools. There was some iphone app called leafsnap that does somthing like this… can you upload a picture and it finds likely candidates. Haven’t used it in years, this was pre-chatGPT era

    Oh and yeah… could be black locust. Not sure why I didn’t tihnk of that, I have a billion of them in my yard




  • I have grown hundreds of container citrus trees and meyer lemons are finicky. In general citrus aren’t terribly happy indoors where it is quite dry. I have mine in a greenhouse in winter where it is fairly humid and they all do great… except the meyer lemon which is never all that happy.

    I strongly suggest a non-meyer lemon. The grocery store types ‘Eureka’ and ‘Lisbon’ are great, and commonly available. Also Pink Variegated Eureka makes a pretty striped and pink-inside fruit, though less productive than the others.

    I have grown many lemon trees and they are all kinda similar (except meyer which is a hybrid)
