I’ve been waiting on these chillies for two years, and they never produced. I’ve been distracted by legal and financial shit the past two years, so I wasn’t paying proper attention. Then I realized the chillies were killed by helicopter tree seeds and I’ve been cultivating trees.

There are a couple species of maple trees that should be classified as weeds.

Oof… those little maples are a pain… for my planters, I buy one of those cheap little mosquito net boxes and set over them to keep that stuff out while they’re falling.

  Definitely high on my agenda. That and keep the squirrels away.

    Squirrels, you’ll have to beef it up… they’ll eat those nets like nothing. Your best bet for squirrels is a deterrent of some kind, keep them away entirely instead of just trying to keep them out.
