Dear HOS Forum members, 

I'm aware that I often go off-topic in my posts.  The HOS Forum is the only forum that I'm on and I spend as little time as possible on the internet.  Consequently I often wander off into other topics during a given post.  To my mind, everything is inter-related, but at the same time I recognize that some of the things that I mention are not very closely related to Fruit growing or orcharding.  For this, I apologize, and as a New Year's Resolution I will do my best to "pull back on it."  I appreciate your patience with me.

May 2022 be a "fruitful" year for each of you in every way.

Reinettes.
