From December 2006, same dogs, 6 years younger. Different fireplace.
Tomatoes Summer 2006. I think this was one of my better crops.
This is the fig tree I just moved to Battleground. Summer 2006. According to my notes then, I started it from a cutting Dec 2003/Jan 2004.
May 2006. Sunny Disposition bearded iris. I've moved a start to Battleground. This is a good performer, increases well, blooms well even with neglect and grass/palm competition.
I was also reading about old and ancient seeds. That Judean Date Palm is still growing. The tree is male, so the only way we'll get a taste of the ancient dates, will be for it to be crossed with modern date palms, then back cross with the parent for a 75% ancient palm. Probably not in my lifetime. According to this blog, Methusaleh bloomed in 2011, so I hope they used it to pollinate a related palm and potentially have fruit from those trees in 2022.
