The following year they, the trees, decided to heck with this and took the year off..... Then there was a very light harvest, and another light harvest... This year is yet to be determined.... And this after half the trees in the back orchard were removed to allow for horizontal growth and improved sun penetration.... Who knows....
They stopped spending a fortune on fertilizers, though they still spray pest control to keep the worms and other bugs away.... They have about 8 different varieties of pecans... Some of them are buttery soft and flavorful... Others are, well, pecans...
Oh, and for the record.... Covid sucks and I really do wish Phauci a long long stay in purgatory...
Third time I've had it, first two times I got it from my wife who had her shots as required by her former employer, and this time from my sister in law and her husband... Family dinner out and I sat across from her... The next day she has a scratchy throat and progresses downhill from there... A few days later I developed the scratchy throat, and we home tested.... Yup, i got it again... Called my doc and he immediately ordered me onto Paxlovid due to my history... Deb got the scratchy throat the day after me, and she tested positive the day after me, Doc wouldn't call her a script for Paxlovid as she is considered low risk...
I suffered it quite a bit worse than Deb, but we both motored through.... I finally got my sense of taste back... though we are both very low energy and bouts of mild nausea.... I'm 11 days into this crap....
