Hmmm. But in reality NearMap.com already does high res aerial shoots of your back yard up to monthly, so 'they' are already invading our privacy. Why does Apple (or Google) maps need this much detail? OTOH, who cares?

Keep doing it Ken, all plants love urine, but especially citrus!

Just remember headman. TL shoots fire so it wouldn't be good for the citrus trees.

Citrus hangs from branches - you don't actually pee ON the fruit... unlike zucchini :jawdrop:

Blame Island Head - it's his avatar what's made you do it. It's like the little devil on your shoulder. I don't think you have an angel to sit on the other one :whistle:

Blimey! You should probably see a doctor about that Ken

And don't wee on ANY plant, just around them. Otherwise you'll burn the foliage (except if you're Ken and then you'll burn the whole garden)

We should start a gardening club! Meet every so often and discuss our fertilizers problems and antidotes to pests. :unsure:
