UC#1-SU<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\n

UC#4:  I have been meaning to send you this info, since I am pretty proud of it, and actually forgot to share it when you were asking about what we were growing (?!!) but maybe that will help to give a timeline, since I think the seedling was about 2 wk old at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been discovering sprouted apple seeds inside the apples that I eat daily, and decided to plant them.  I have planted four now, from various different varieties, and this is the only one that has manifested, and unfortunately, I did not take note of the variety!  Anyway, I photographed what the sprouted seed looks like inside the core of the apple, and also what the seedling looks like now.  Is it about 6 wk old?  Not sure about my long-term plan, since we need board permission to plant trees in our development.  I think I\u2019ll just keep it inside. I had an aunt who once grew an orange tree from a seed, and it produced tiny oranges, as a houseplant. <\/p>\n– UC#1 SU<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

UC#4-SU and Sally the Intern<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sadly, UC#4-SU<\/strong> and Sally T. Intern<\/strong> tested positive for Covid on Sunday. UC#4 (bottom test) is hanging tuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LG Junk<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

UC#4<\/strong> has been dealing with a piece-of-crap LG front-loading washing machine. This expensive POC breaks down about every 6 months, necessitating an expensive repair. It also creates a big mess.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mail from Estonia<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

In the WLBOTT <\/strong>corporate mail room, we typically get large sacks of mail from Estonia, but today UC#4 received something special.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UC#3<\/strong> and SU recently lost power for 5 days due to the hurricane. On the plus side, they received 12″ of rain<\/strong>, which led to a blooming back yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
