I cultivated the silence between your words. It bloomed in the dark, a slow unraveling of silk. Are you ready to taste the depth of what I grew?

Unfortunately no. I haven't been farming that long. Only about 2.5 years. This tree can take 12 years to make fruit and 12 months from flower to harvest. I'll be a much older guy by the time I have the chance to harvest my own.

Just read a note on here - the gist of it was - the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is today... Suddenly this has me thinking of my grandpa. He planted a lot of trees. Miss him dearly.

Yep. It's a good one.
