Peanut gallery operations have continued lately. Each rooted piece of "peanut grass" is a small step towards liberation from fossil fuels and yoke of the graminaceae. Cuttings have been coming out of the nahiku ridden Guadua planting on the driveway, just below the carpark. Some pretty good cutting material out of there actually. It is interesting that the peanut has coexisted with the nahiku, better than I actually thought it was doing. I hope that we can get it to bounce back from the cuttings and not let it get too swamped by the grass before it does.
Have had to start watering the planted "long cuttings" in the dwarf citrus grove, since the rains have abated for a while, and the wind and sun is drying things up again. Its a relief though, because we were started to get muddy and running low on the solar power.
This afternoon the truck was finally released from the mechanic. $3055. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUCH!
Still, that sense of powerlessness in the face of so much rampant tropical grass sort of relaxed its grip on my psyche a little bit just looking into the bed and imaging it full of mulch that won't grow. Stopped by Greg Jones' place on the way home ostensibly because Lichen wanted to meet the kitties Mama, but Greg wasn't around, so I also couldn't really get too far in scoping out the wild coffee situation which was part of my alterior motive there. His place is looking great.
