Lives of the Elders – July 2024

UC#1-SU

UC#4:  I have been meaning to send you this info, since I am pretty proud of it, and actually forgot to share it when you were asking about what we were growing (?!!) but maybe that will help to give a timeline, since I think the seedling was about 2 wk old at the time.

I have been discovering sprouted apple seeds inside the apples that I eat daily, and decided to plant them.  I have planted four now, from various different varieties, and this is the only one that has manifested, and unfortunately, I did not take note of the variety!  Anyway, I photographed what the sprouted seed looks like inside the core of the apple, and also what the seedling looks like now.  Is it about 6 wk old?  Not sure about my long-term plan, since we need board permission to plant trees in our development.  I think I’ll just keep it inside. I had an aunt who once grew an orange tree from a seed, and it produced tiny oranges, as a houseplant.

Nothing to add.  I’m just trying to keep our tomato plants from dying in this heat.

UC#4-SU and Sally the Intern

Sadly, UC#4-SU and Sally T. Intern tested positive for Covid on Sunday. UC#4 (bottom test) is hanging tuff.

Recognizing the importance of proper nutrition in the healing process, the ladies are quickly improving.

LG Junk

UC#4 has been dealing with a piece-of-crap LG front-loading washing machine. This expensive POC breaks down about every 6 months, necessitating an expensive repair. It also creates a big mess.

The chickens want to help, but mostly they get in the way.


Mail from Estonia

In the WLBOTT corporate mail room, we typically get large sacks of mail from Estonia, but today UC#4 received something special.

Jake is a friend of the BLOTT.


UC#3

UC#3 and SU recently lost power for 5 days due to the hurricane. On the plus side, they received 12″ of rain, which led to a blooming back yard.

Sadly, UC#3 lost a meticulously curated sausage collection:
