Whoa, hold on. You mean the computer caught a voltage regulator thing that you never saw in 15 years of doing this? That's wild. I've had plenty of machines throw codes that made zero sense, and I'd just ignore them and go with what my hands were telling me. But this is different, it found a specific pattern across a whole batch of trucks. That would genuinely shake me a little bit, like maybe my gut isn't as sharp as I thought it was.

That ground guy gave you a real gift, I've been there too and it's tough to unlearn that habit. Good on you for stepping back and thinking about what the tree actually needs.

Wait, you mean there are people out there who actually enjoy constantly digging through trash cans and eating soggy seaweed for the first two seasons? I picked the forest farm too and honestly the free hardwood alone feels like cheating compared to the beach's whole "good luck getting a decent sprinkler before year 3" vibe. That little pond is basically my emotional support water feature now, so yeah, I'm with you on this one.
