  1. Very disappointing, nothing at all about maintaining a coconut grove as far as I could tell.

  3. We had a single Yellow Transparent Apple tree in our orchard. We picked those for ourself and to sell at the door. They made the absolute best apple sauce!

  4. Was discussing apples with someone over on gander, a little tip, when your local tree org offers you apple trees, make sure you get at least 2 varieties to cross pollinate. Hearing a few folks that get all the same variety, and then wonder why they never get apples.

  5. Picked about 2 lbs. / 1 kg of blueberries this morning. There were a few rasberries and blackcaps to snack on along the way.

  6. Hobby gardeners: You must prune fruit trees very carefully so the tree can heal.

    Commercial fruit producers: We strapped 10 table saws to a tractor.

  7. Sitting in the shade of an Oak tree on a blazing hot day high above Zürich on the Hõnggerberg. On a path through an old traditional meadow-orchard managed by the Hõngg Natural History Society (Höngg NVV).

    This is a special place for me as it was I was introduced to nature conservation work, and got my first real grasp of vascular plants (through trying to eradicate suckers of Sumach/Essigbaum).

  8. I was turning the water on the berries and noticed some almost ripe and then actually ripe blueberries. The raspberries have got quite the jungle going too in the middle where I didn't dig up raspberries and start a new row.

  9. First Sunflower bloom of the year, from the volunteer next to the peach tree. No word from the ones I planted on purpose yet...

  10. Pretty much full blossom maybe yesterday? Only a few days early. Rain tomorrow and wanted a couple of photos before that washed it all away. This is the farm I grew up on. New owner is fabulous and lets of walk on the land anytime we want. My Dad sold the farm almost 30 years ago and kept the house. We now have the house I grew up in and my grandparents house. In Quebec when you sell a farm you can keep 1.5 acres of land. We have 3 acres here.

  11. what to do about trees

    What to do about trees, for she had room:
    Have an orchard. But isn't that thinking
    About twenty years ahead? So she went
    To the tool room for her spade in November;

    Took that and four apple saplings down
    Onto the flat by the road, and began. Years she

    Did this, working up and around the rise
    Of better ground. Pears, cherries, quince

    Abounded, but the plums got blight, and had to
    Be started over. She was too old to harvest
    Or even get shade from nut trees, they're so slow;
    Uncoupling crop from objective, she anyway set
    Them out, along with the rest. Last, she

    Thought of mulberries. The hens could have
    Really used those. Oh, well. She ordered,
    Even this late in life, and planted once more,
    Even as those old hens looked on amazed:
    Something to offer folks not yet alive.

  12. RE: toot.wales/@richrollgardener/1

    We spent some time this afternoon setting out some of the Apple Maggot Fly traps, in the hopes that we will actually have some apples this year. Trees are done blossoming and it LOOKS like some fruit is setting. Hoping for better weather during the June drop this year. Fingers crossed. Anyway here's my report from last year at this time.

  13. I planted this Blenheim Orange apple tree in the fall of 2017. Here we are in 2026 and it has yet to produce any blossoms. The little Baldwin I planted at the same time has been bearing fruit for 3 years now. I've heard that the Blenheim Orange is slow to get started but I am wondering if anyone else has any experience/tips/suggestions. Pictures show same tree then and now.
