Seed grown feijoa results. I have two trees grown from seed and they taste and look different. One is more oval/circular shaped and the other oblong.
The oval shaped tastes the best. It tastes like cattleya guava and muscadine grapes and is quite juicy and succulent. It’s better than my pink guava. I’ve named it “chubby baby.”
The oblong one tastes like green apple and the peel is kinda resin-y.
I grafted 8 yuzu seedling stocks with mature yuzu scions this spring but they’re unlikely to produce for at least two years.
One day I will be yuzu rich and will never suffer for want of yuzus again.

It was a bad year for yuzus. My tree isn’t very big and squirrels stole two fruit off of it last spring when they were still small and green. The result is that the one yuzu that ripened is a total honker.
The other yuzu is from a friend’s tree. His trees are alternate bearing bc he doesn’t thin the fruit in boom years. Yuzu tea from dried yuzu peel is a biological imperative so I will be bereft this year.

Harvest today. Citrus are starting to ripen. Maybe next week satsumas will be ready. 😊

Mexican startup, Greenfluidics produces a solar panel made with certain strains of algae, water and photovoltaic cells. The panels generate energy AND capture CO2. For every 1kg of algae, 2k of carbon will be captured. The biomass created are periodically filtered and can be used as fertilizer. As for energy, it produces comparable rates to current solar panels some of which is used to keep the installation going.
The Brain Is Not Designed for Thinking
“As the cognitive scientist Daniel Willingham has written: ‘Contrary to popular belief, the brain is not designed for thinking. It’s designed to save you from having to think.’ Because the brain is naturally inclined to avoid effortful thinking and to rely instead on familiar patterns, complete freedom tends to lead to unoriginal ideas, simply repeating what is known. Constraints push the brain beyond its default tendencies, forcing it to engage in deeper problem-solving. Total freedom, then, is the enemy of creativity, and constraint its companion.” — David Epstein, Inside the Box
