ok no i dont .. but maybe you can tell me

I spent an amazing time mapping out foraging trees and boating and gardening when i wasnt chained to my desk at work lol )

major bumpercrops in the garden cept tomatoes .. theyre still green like everone elses in the continental north america it seems .. tomatoes went wackey this year

i started back with doin tai chi ..love love love tai chi

and gota major sliver of glass stuck in my foot due to insistance of not wearing footwear whenever possible which resulted in a massive innner arch infection.. *yay* untill the sliver worked its way out ;p

i lost that stupid extra *20lbs* (yay Fresh i did it lol) because of the extra summer activity of riding my bike everywhere and loads of farm fresh produce all around me

im really gonna miss this summer it was a summer of thoughtfulness for me i made afew new friends through my fitness goups and lost a long time friend that (i mentioned i was trying to work thru suicidal issues and then turned on me with threats an accusations)

the leaves are stating to turn

I LOVE fresh apples ! and my early kale

jgunn

you were just being the fruit picking ninja that you were born to be

it is ridiculous letting fruit just fall to the floor, rot and waste away

actually, its a crime, in my book
good for you for not letting it go to waste

its like in the restaurants where they just throw away piles and piles of food for no reason whatsoever

same with trees

fruit is meant to be eaten

Speaking of fruit ninjas, check out the graft occurring in San Francisco:

Quote

Spring means cherry, pear and apple blossoms. But in many metropolitan areas, urban foresters ensure those flowering fruit trees don't bear fruit to keep fallen fruit from being trampled into slippery sidewalk jelly.

But a group of fruit fans in the San Francisco Bay Area is secretly grafting fruit-bearing tree limbs onto those fruitless trees.

Quote

The Guerrilla Grafters graft fruit bearing branches onto non-fruit bearing, ornamental fruit trees. Over time, delicious, nutritious fruit is made available to urban residents through these grafts. Our web application helps grafters to find graftable trees, to track how grafts are doing, and helps to facilitate gleaning of fruit. It is built by a laterally organized group using all open source code. We aim to prove that a culture of care can be cultivated from the ground up. We aim to turn city streets into food forests, and unravel civilization one branch at a time.
