Gardening
The quince trees have lots of fruit on them, a few of which are misshapen and apparently infected by OFM larvae, but I've been throwing those away when I find them, and many of them look OK. Continuing with the sticky trap baited with OFM sex pheromones. Continuing with the microscopic wasps that allegedly parasitize OFM's. Trimming every week or so to keep the trees from blocking the front steps or the light to the vegetable patch.
The squash plants in the back yard are coming up well: there are two visibly different kinds of leaves, but I don't remember where I planted the yellow squash and where the delicatas. The ones in the front yard aren't doing so well, presumably because they're shaded by the quince trees.
The green-bean plants in both back and front yards are starting to produce blossoms, although again the ones in the front yard are unhappy about shade from the quince trees. I think they had a lower germination rate than the squash plants, so there's some bare, bean-free soil in which I put a second round of seeds a few days ago.
The raspberry bushes produced a berry a few days ago, and several more yesterday; I expect that in two weeks they'll be roaring away at a cup a day. No sign yet of SWD's, but I should put out some traps for them.
