I don’t fuck with orchards so I can’t speak on that. Orchards? Apple picking? That’s a racket. You want ME to pay YOU to work your land? Fuck off, Tom Sawyer. I’m on to your grift

Eastern Bluebird
Male

The eastern bluebird (Sialia sialis) is a small North American migratory thrush found in open woodlands, farmlands, and orchards.

Male bluebirds have a bright head, back, and wings. Their breast is a brownish red. Females are lighter.

It's possible New Ohio could exist. It might have a decent plum-growing region, although the recent influx of retirees from California have converted some of the orchards to condos.

It's probably worth that there's a set of voters in Silicon Valley who are still big mad that all the beloved orchards are gone because of some stupid tech startup called Apple.

I can though satisfy that need by just adding fig orchards to the rice farms.

2/2 but in veteran orchards Flavoparmelia caperata can be fertile, probably because of lichen maturity, well-lit trees, optimal moisture cycles of hydration & dedication & no ammonia (NH₃) or sulfur dioxide (SO₂) pollution. Veteran orchards are early senescent biodiversity hotspots #lichenGBI

"Israel is systematically blowing up southern Lebanese villages and towns, poisoning farmland with high concentrations of glyphosate, destroying essential farming equipment and irrigation systems, burning ... orchards, and taking further measures to ensure people cannot return to their homes[.]"
"[P]lan hatched over 100 years ago."

"Israel is conducting a third colonial campaign of ethnic cleansing."

"[O]ver 1.2 million people, a fifth of Lebanon's population, forcibly displaced from the south."

Apple picking looks different in some parts of the country this year after a late spring freeze in the mid-Atlantic, Northeast, and Midwest decimated crops.

Marketplace's Samantha Fields visited Solebury Orchards in Pennsylvania, where the weather shift forced a change to an annual tradition.

"Juan" and "Raul" are putting out reflecting panel below the apple trees. This panel maximizes the sunlight reaching the trees lower branches and helps with the coloring, sugar content and quality of the fruit. They work 5-6 days a week and move orchards as needed. #WeFeedYou

O dark lords of the spooky season, I have braved your dead orchards to present my latest creation: a Mulled Wine, Quince, and Apple Pie.

May its sanguinary filling be worthy of your approval.

Behold the pawpaw, the tropical-tasting ‘alien banana’ that grows right here in Canada

Pawpaws taste like a banana, mango and pineapple all rolled into one

Behold the pawpaw, the tropical-tasting ‘alien banana’ that grows right here in Canada | CBC Radio
The pawpaw fruit tastes of banana, mango and pineapple and was once abundant across parts of North America, but it can still be found growing wild and in some orchards.

I live near a bunch of wacky orchards, Scott Farm in VT is devoted to heirlooms. I do think you could make that tree by means of grafting

1/2 Veteran apple orchards in Sussex are very propitious habitats for the Parmelietum revolutae community & Ramalinaceae lichens; specifically Evernia prunastri, Usnea cornuta, Flavoparmelia caperata, and Ramalina farinacea, all of which typically reproduce asexually via soredia … #lichenGBI

Priorities this year have not included:
- carving pumpkins
- apple orchards
- stocking up on Halloween candy

We've got glow bracelets and snowflake bubbles. Kids are either gonna love or hate our house.
