I find it odd that the days have been in the mid to high sixties here,
and the nights about forty, yet the soil on our north facing slope is
sixty. I planted 5 peas to see if they survive temps, and snails. If all
goes well, I'll plant the rest of the peas mid-week. Also I need to prep
the lettuce beds, although the lettuces is far from ready to go outside.

I switched out a non-producing orange tree, for an apricot tree that was
planted in a marginal spot, THEN I looked up orange trees. It said that
oranges may take 3 to 5 years to produce fruit! Mine was/is about 5
years old. I rushed out to the compost heap, and dragged it off, and put
its mangled root system in a large pot with wet soil. I'll watch
closely to see if it puts out any adventitious buds over the next few
months, if not then back on the compost pile it will go.

In the mean time, I'll just pound my head slowly against a wall.
