California screamin?

[Bilbo]

According to an earlier news report I heard that the Citrus growers down there have taken a big hit.

Hope this was a mistake or exaggeration?

Good luck to all of you with palm nurseries or gardens.

Big gale here right now and limbs are a coming off trees

on the bright side it will save on pruning.

A mature Sycamore widbreak has saved my garden.

A.pseudoplatanus is Not my favourite tree but at times like this I shall forgive and forget all those wret6ched seedlings that pop up everywhere.

It's certainly blowy.  My new cover won't stay on the polytunnel and what's underneath is now totalled.  I've tried to reconstruct things, but in this wind, it's pointless.

Corey: you have my sympathies.

I aint a whinger and neither are you - that was certainly a real stormy hit indeed - I s'ppose we just have to take it on the chin - ha - the Great British Weather indeed!

Im real pleased my big Queen is still standing.

One good thing is my local guys ( Parks Dept) seem to like some of my ideas and maybe they just might plant even more palms!

Living in hope.

Latest estimate is that 70% of the California citrus crop is lost.

Sometimes they can juice em if they are ripe enough, no word on that.

Oranges prices have already doubled at wholesale.

Too bad.
