Getting ready for 2019 season

Much of today was spent spreading lime around the trees while the weather was good. On our travels up and down the rows Stew found an unripe truffle poking up through the sand where we've previously seen one in the last 2 weeks and covered it up with sand until it ripens. A second truffle was found towards the end of the day, sitting in what appeared to be a crater, like it had landed there with some impact! On having a good sniff we thought it had rot in it so we removed it to further investigate. Much of the truffle was just unripe and a small portion was rotten from being exposed to water from irrigating last night. We wish we'd seen it sooner to just cover it up and let it grow. Live and learn!
