Tomorrow I'll probably yank some tangelos from the tree. Seems like 
they're ripening a few weeks early this year. This tree has had some 
disease that causes its bark to split away, but I guess the Subdue I've 
used has kept it going for the 3 or 4 years since I discovered the 
problem.

Tried pollinating some hibiscus today and I'll see what varieties are 
blooming tomorrow for some more pollinating. This is the weather for 
doing this, but I won't have room for more seedlings until I can cull 
some from last year's group -- life has its problems. ;-)

Happy new year,





Tom Miller
