  4. 🍏 Every apple holds a small universe of texture, color, and orchard biology. Bite, browning, and blossom reveal quiet patterns shaped by physics and living systems.

    🌱 A single fruit can carry many stories at once.

  5. Wassailing, which I always associated with spiced hard cider and Christmas carols, turns out (also) to be a pagan fertility rite focussing on fruit trees, which is gaining in popularity!

    Inside Europe did a story on this the week before last (starts at 48:15)...

  6. Interest in installing solar panels in vineyards is growing. Here's a paper from Australia that examines their impact on pear trees & fruit.

    tl/dr Panels created shade, which reduced yield, sugar concentration & color, but lessened impacts of extreme weather (heat and hail).

    This study used fixed panels at 45° and 5°, with the latter causing greater crop losses, but power production was similar.

  7. It’s #apple time! A paradise of colours in regions with traditional #Streuobstwiesen, a very special form of #meadow #orchards meanwhile becoming rare in Europe. And I had to experience a culture clash of people who are afraid of #nature because they think it is dirty and dangerous:

  12. 🌱 Grafting: Growing together Take one plant, join it to another. Watch them heal into one life. Gardeners have done this for centuries, saving heirlooms, shaping orchards, and carrying flavors forward through time.

    🌱 A graft is a quiet promise of resilience, where two plants grow stronger together as one.

  18. BEHOLD 🎉

    My bountiful apple harvest from half a dozen trees this year! 🍎 #garden #orchards

  19. @Snoro We have a 230 tree English Walnut grove that produced NOTHING this year. Conditions are getting incredibly unpredictable and are hampering pollination. Even wild native Black Walnuts that have produced every year for the last 22 years did not produce.

    Hopefully next year is better but there is so much that is out of our control.

  21. Helped my friends Alan and Hannah pick the two large Purple Heart plum trees. They will have take the plums to the Ashfield farmers market tomorrow anger whatever doesn’t sell will go into cold storage.

  22. We have been doom and glooming for the last week and I've finally said fuck it. Although I don't yet know what the solution is, we're not running away. We'll do something.

    In this new spirit, I am going to add more #walnutTrees across the road from my main orchard. This is obviously not a political action but it is forward motion. At least I can continue to convert old fallow hay fields into productive carbon capturing and food producing #orchards.

    It will also keep me from getting into too much trouble.

  23. Anthracnose virus on a young golden russet. Made me sad to find it too late to save the tree. Need to cut down to the rootstock and see how that’s doing (it is leafed out, so may be ok.). So anthracnose is recognizable by its golden paper edges and stringy bits. #orcharding #Orchards #apples #permaculture

  24. Male flowers on our English Walnut trees are starting to swell. They will soon become catkins and then release their seeds to the wind. Female flowers will hopefully appear in time to get pollinated.
