183 chestnut trees and 1 Royal Rainier cherry (with the help of a backhoe and planting crew of five workers). The chestnut tree planting is part of an expansion project since I had this part of my field cut off from the rest of my farm (gas field operator added this road last year).

They are spaced only 7' apart and I will remove half of them in about 4-5 years.



Note that just above my orange Kubota tractor off in the distance (probably 70 miles or more) you might barely see snow on the Sierra Nevada Mountain range.

Transplanted my Hylocereus undatus (Night Blooming Cereus or Dragon Fruit). Hoping for good flower and fruit production this year.



This is a 10" pot, but the cell phone picture makes it appear much smaller.

Moonshiner - My dragon fruit seeds (the magenta fleshed type) germinated in 2 days but have been slow to progress since then. But it has been cold and very wet since then. Now they are about 2 inches tall with spines and looking like cactus.

Also planted coriander, cherry tomatoes, squash - more when it warms up!!

Patty in Wisc

Oh Martin, I sure hope they germinate for ya. Love those plants!
I bought seeds (very expensive) few yrs ago & not one germinated. Maybe I gave up too soon.

Hey Patty, I can send you some small bulbs of the Tacca integrifolia if they can slip past the post. I know a couple of places why there's heck lot of them like grass. I just yanked 2 big plants for a sucker friend who pay $18 for 2 at some nursery. I told him to check with me about endemics before buying but he didn't listen. I have seen the T borneensis (all black flower) but can't remember where. Long ago, I got a pure green flowered plant from Thailand which grows under the full sun. Cool plant.
