THE CORE
Fruits & Votes is the Web-log of Matthew S. Shugart ("MSS"), Professor of Political Science, University of California, Davis.
Perspectives on electoral systems, constitutional design, and policy around the world, based primarily on my research interests. Also experiences with growing many varieties of fruit (always organic) and other personal interests. Please see the Mission Statement for more. (There is also an explanation of the banner.) Other "planters" have been invited to contribute. Please check the "Planted by" line to see the author of the post you are reading.
Join the conversation. Comments are always open. Except, that is, when Word Press mysteriously shuts them down, which happens with distressing frequency. Core principles: Henry Droop on the "moderate non-partisan section" Madison on "dangers from abroad" and "the fetters... on liberty" The Head Orchardist's other sites: PRESERVED FRUIT Dikes and Votes: Consensus government and flood control The 2008 candidates on political reform More fundamental than the climate The radical middle in US democracy Canada's dysfunctional electoral system The Hamas sweep: The electoral system did it

Planted in: Weather I don’t know when it last snowed at this elevation (1500 ft) in San Diego County, but it would have to have been many years.  It’s pretty, but not really the best thing for citrus and avocado trees. Or stone-fruit trees that are already in bloom. (That’s the Mesch Mesch Amrah plumcot in between the mandarin and the avos.)  Here it is as it was falling last night, around 9:30 p.m.:  Propagation: Seeds & scions (0) Nothing sprouting from this planting yet »RSS feed for comments on this post. TrackBacks
