I wish our spring and fall seasons lasted longer! It's the only times during the year that the weather seems to make sense to me. At least now our apples are almost ready to pick. Maybe we can make cider again!
Oh yes, apple season. Used to love going to the Cider Mill. My favorite fresh apple is a Honey Crisp.

I think my husband's favorite are the red delicious. I'm not sure now how many we'll get since we finally did some heavy apple tree trimming this past winter. Our orchard is pretty old and the last keepers kind of fell behind on care.

Great, everything should do good and thrive for Opos' varied diet in your moist environment.
Can I use cuttings from hibiscus, or should they have roots on them to grow?

I personally have never had any luck with cuttings so I do seeds and small plants with roots to make new plants. To answer your question, I don't know. I just remembered I just cut some potos back yesterday and stuck them in a vase of water.

I am impressed! I can't grow plants in my yard. Let alone growing them in the cracks of my driveway. 🤣

I find these places are where seeds end up after rain. We had some giant cup plant stalks growing between two slabs of concrete on our front walk. The seeds likely ended up there after a trip down from the gutter. They did probably get on the roof via bird or chipmunk. Our yard is an absolute zoo!
