I was talking to a famous botanist the other night, as you do, and he told me about this.

My kaffir lime tree needed to be up-potted, and I ended up trying out a rolling pot. The lime has been much happier and having the wheels is super handy for me even for just adjusting position over the summer but definitely for moving in to the greenhouse.
I ended up re-potting 2 other citrus trees into the same type of pot. But the root balls of my other 3 big trees are too big. Now I'm looking around for wheeled plant trolleys but the size seems fairly limiting (24 inch diameter).
Started picking apples from my trees, here's the first five gallons. I'm super stoked, some of them don't have coddling moths in them this year. ...Maybe 25%. Which is still an improvement over 0% last year!
Cored and de-wormed (same action, with moths) about a gallon this morning, making some apple butter. The whole house smells like cinnamon and cloves right now.
...now I need to figure out what to do with the other four gallons. And the next 20 still on the tree. It'd be easier if I loved apples, but I kinda only like them a little. ^^;;
