Vacation Phase 1: Move the Osmanthus.

This is a summary of things accomplished during Xmax New Years time off. First we decided to move a large 10 foot tall Osmanthus fragrans that was crowding and shading the research greenhouse. We had a nice place in the shade up near the road to help block out the incessant traffic. It was no small task but the the handy tractor is was fairly routine. See the photos below.

Thanks to cool cloudy weather the Osmanthus should be fine. Its flower fragrance is awesome. The research greenhouse is now much brighter and the walls are easier to clean for sure. Job 1 completed and disaster averted.
