16 NOV 2008 The Apples Are Confused

The Forest of Pots: Has fall definitely arrived? The apple forest, quite confused, is sprouting new leaves. It seems that Apple One popped out a few new leaves a few weeks ago (while Toddy Sycamoreseed was over the Pacific) and Apple Two just popped out two new leaves mere days ago. Thus, both look suddenly more robust than in recent memory. All of the Peachys, however, are looking droopy, while the Sycamores have leaves turning color and dropping off ... except for Sycabum, which is clinging to its two wee leaves.
