What's growing on, Beehaw? (beehaw.org)

We finally received actual rain (read: more than a twenty minute spritz) for the first time in a month, and the world smells like pollen. Our "tropical" fruits, hardy kiwi and maypop (passion fruit), have put on feet of new growth as a result and are filling out their support trellis, which is very exciting.

I'm heading out in just a little bit to attend a walk'n'talk at a nearby orchard - our county extension office is hosting the event to discuss some of the climate risk mitigation strategies the orchard has been leveraging for a few years now. This afternoon some folks we know from the library are coming over to harvest flowers to supply an art project for the kids in town.

What's growing on with you all?
