Acer in autumn colors. First quick picture from the new garden from last week. Taken by my bro. A lot of work is ahead.

The tree has the second flush of foliage after defoliation. Now mushrooms grow from the substrate. Good or bad? 

I think it is ok. Probably sign of good conditions in the soil. 

On the second and third picture, there are new roots peaking from moss. Large root was removed at that location in spring. This is a good sign. Possibly one of the reasons for the popularity of this species in Japan and elsewhere. Healing of the wounds like no other species, roots grow like crazy, nice foliage with changing colours, tender ramification. The winner among deciduous. 

Back to moss. Using moss all year round gives your tree 1/3 more space to grow roots. In modern substrate without moss, you can hardly see any roots in the top section since it is too dry mostly. Don't be afraid of moss. Methinks.

There is a thin line between "what a nice first buds, how lovely green fresh leaves" and "WTF I will do with all that foliage". It's not even end of April, the beginning of the year and March were colder than usual and trees have more than needed amount of foliage. I had few minutes today in the garden, with daughter on the swing just behind my back. So I took scissors and applied hedge pruning method on maple for 5 minutes. Looks in shape again. 

On progress

We are living in an era of great progress. Everyday we hear about new development in almost all aspects of our lives and technology. For example driverless cars are going to hit roads sooner than we think, just yesterday I heard one of Google companies Waymo is going to launch driverless cabs. If you are taxi driver you better start to study something new very soon. 

Or if you noticed, some big cities in Asia, like Delhi are experiencing really huge problems with air pollution this week. I guess most of the problems there are coal fired power plants and combustion engines in vehicles. New technologies are going to help with those issues as well. Tesla is leading pack with its electric vehicles and we can see them already almost daily. Electric revolution is currently under way in automotive industry and we will see the change.

But I have some concerns to be honest. For example what if driverless cars will not work as promised?  They should work well but there will be bugs in software or something similar?  

Like for example this blogging platform from Google. Some time ago I started to use Google+ comments here. Worked pretty well. But, I wanted one simple thing. Get notification via email whenever someone post a comment under my post. Should be easy task, right? 

Of course. 

We get dozens of emails. Spammers find you and send you any possible crap. Try to register or use any online services and you'll end up getting their promo emails forever. 

But try to set up notifications here on Blogger when you use Google+ comments! You are not getting emails you would like to get! 

Strange. 

I thought I'm just moron and could not set it up properly. I think I have tried everything and I'm giving up. I just go back to old comments setup. This way all older comments are gone, which is pity but there is no other way I guess. 

If you guys, bloggers out there figured out how to do it, please let me know. 

I just hope guys at Silicon Valley are going to make better job with AI and robotic taxis. 

Yeah, and here is the maple agin. I do not remember such colors. I see it now everywhere. Walter keep killing us with his outstanding stuff daily, and you see it on blogs and social networks that most of the Europe and North America is having colors like never before. What a joy. But I will tell you, naked trees are just behind the corner. I guess tomorrow. 

Last picture taken today, first some three weeks ago.
