You know when you buy something online and when it arrives it's a lot smaller than you're expecting? I do not have that problem.
I impulse bought a cherry tree the other day that was supposed to be about 4 ft tall. It has now arrived and is about 8 ft tall. This is entirely TOO MUCH TREE.

731 days of periodically forgetting to log on interspersed with brief flurries of activity. Can't believe I haven't ONCE been nominated for a Bluey. (An award I just made up, celebrating the finest talent on Bluesky.)

Despite this contradictory photographic evidence, the moon was actually looking very cool tonight. Shame this is how I discover there's two wild snipers living in my garden though.
![A seriously shit photo of the moon and clouds taken through the back doors of my house. The garden is in total darkness, however there are two small red dots of light in the black areas of the photo.

Is there a way to explain to wildlife that if they let the plant GROW first there will be endless food, but if you eat it as soon as it sprouts, everyone loses out?
These bozos don't seem to be listening.
