Have you triedΒ a "King Henry" apple?Β Deep red with gold and brown freckles, Broad at the top, narrow at the bottom, very crunchy and very juicy! I loved those guys when I was a kid. You don't see them much nowadays.

Never heard of it, which is why it may not be around anymore.

I had planted two Fuji's and two Gala's last year, but the drought took them out.Β Luckily, one of the Gala's is making a comeback now.Β Just need to get another and two new Fuji's to get my orchard started.Β Neighbors across the road have some trees, so they should help in the pollination later.Β Β
Two weeks ago I transferred 21 black walnut seedlings from the garden out to a part of the property I had laid out for a grove.Β My wife and a friend of her's had gathered some from town with the thought of harvesting the meat.Β After awhile, they got tired of the project, and found some other people didn't want the nut meat.Β So they tossed the rest of the walnuts into the garden.Β Β Β
Now I had these trees sprouting, and decided to get to work.Β After laying out a grid pattern like my father-in-law did at the last place we lived, they're all carefully reset into a proper grove.Β About emptied the stock tank we use to store rain water in before the rains came again.Β Now the grove is looking nice.Β Feel like Khoravan now.Β Β

Waiting for the weather here to settle down before putting out some tomatoes and peppers.Β Plan on replacing a couple of those Fuji trees soon, maybe add a third later in the season along with another Gala.
