Apple tree is finally putting out some fruit that actually looks good. Still probably not tasty though.

The garden is still giving us gifts.

Update on the little garden at the park. I saw a bunch of little pollinators and a few strands of spider web in it. I love to see life there.

In 1637, John Tradescent the Younger brought North American asters to Europe. These were crossed with Aster amellus to create the many beautiful varieties that grace our gardens today.

Hopfully using some peels from wild apples and raw honey will create an active wild yeast starter to use for brewing. In a few days it should be nice and bubbly (fingers crossed).

These are last year’s photographs of the rose towers holding ‘Madame Isaac Periere’ and ‘Reine des Violettes’. This year the new rusted metal towers are in place so the roses should do better with higher and stronger supports.
