@CiaraNi i'm by no means an expert, but i've followed the tip that you should remove the middle sprout at any fork they grow. so just leave the two outer branches but take the middle one when they start growing one there (i hope this makes sense). i think that's supposed to make them grow more fruit?

@CiaraNi so upsetting.
and i know this isn't exactly the same point. but i've felt compelled lately to buy (partly and mostly "older") books that i loved, or that i've been wanting to get, as physical copies. it's a bit absurd maybe, but it has somehow been comforting to return my attention to non-recent publications in particular.
