Re: Terribly windy
Weather station was right again. It's raining.

today. Storm blowing through north of here and dragging a lot of air

weather station says we will--but rain looks less and less promising.
I've got lots of seedlings and cuttings to pot up and lots of potted
stuff to jump in size, but working out in the wind drives me crazy. So
I guess I'll try it tomorrow.
Did get some potted palms moved today. Musical chairs, sort of; need
to rotate them so they all get equal access over time. And all get
cleaned up, inspected, and fed. Discovered one of the Phoenix
dactyliferas has scale, so tomorrow [if the winds subside] I will
spray it with a colloidal soap solution. In case you haven't heard
about it, colloidal soap--while totally organic and "safe"--is now
used by quite a few nurseries to control insect, bacterial, and fungus
problems. Problem is it's not registered as a pesticide, so can't be
sold as such. Tropical fruit people are a-buzz about it because it
reportedly controls anthracnose, a plague of mangos.
