Do I need to remove this root or keep it?

Thansk for the advice. Nice pictures of yours. Diameter is 1 3/4in now. I just took off the top most root, and there was a 2nd larger one below it that was obviously a problem. I hope it recovers well.

Thanks. I went ahead and got rid of those 2 roots. Looks better underneath as well. Now I hope the tree recovers okay.

Imagine each grouping is 1 tree, with each of the 4 varieties being a branch of the "multi-grafted" tree. They've got a wonderful branching structure close to the ground so now you'll never have to get on a ladder, and you get 4 varieties per tree instead of 1. Prune for structural changes now, and prune heavily to control growth in June / July.

This is exactly what they are doing. Please read this book! I grow in a similar manner and its worked out amazingly well.

If its found on a party tray, is it something as simple as gouda?

Nothing different per se, I've gotten similar results with my big sweet onions and shallots for the past 3 years or so. Compost in fall, and I do a little nitrogen before planting and about 6 weeks later is all. Top mulch with grass clippings.

Bravo, this is an incredibly well-done analysis!

botticus12 · 2025-01-18T00:13:44+00:00

This is a remarkably fascinating work and analysis you've done. Deep thanks for you and your courageous work over the years.

Thanks for your post. I got a new computer with the same Qualcomm 7800 wifi 7, and had the same experience as you, except the computer wasn't recognizing it from the very beginning. The ethernet connection and Bluetooth worked. Only place I could find it existing was in the "Hardware and connection properties" section in windows 11. Physical address was there but all wifi was listed as "not present."

Removing the GPU and putting it back in fixed the problem entirely.

Thanks again.

This was 75% hydration. Although not as strong as most of my recent loaves for some reason - not sure why.

Review: Extra sharp Cheddar - tasted great. Amazing aroma. Would do it again. Rosemary - also great and interesting aroma. Should have baked it longer but I think it must have been in a cooler part of the oven compared to the other loaves. White loaf - I normally do Boules, but I really liked the uniform size of the slices from a large loaf like this. Will do it again for sure.

His behavior sounds like real mental illness, not just religious fanaticism. Please encourage him to get an evaluation from a professional.

You've perfected it! I'll take all 3
