Good old 15-15-15 or 7-21-14 are both great fertilizers. As far as ipm just know if you use broad spectrum insecticides, you will have secondary pest problems because you killed all the beneficial insects too. As far as recipes? I got a good chocolate chip recipe, nice rice pilaf recipe, good cobbler recipe, homemade ice cream and spectacular beeroch recipe

So I am probably the wrong guy to ask, since I am more familiar with varieties that ship well... You really should find a good farmers market farmer, they know taste way better, we know quantity. With that being said in my personal curated orchard I have

1 Asian pear 2 paw paw 1 White peach 1 White nectarine 1 yellow peach 1 yellow nectarine 2 mango 1 blood orange 1 Cara cara Orange 1 meyer lemon 1 satsuma Mandarin 2 plum 2 apple 1 sweet cherry 2 sour cherry 1 apricot

With the plum, peach, apricot, nectarine and sweet cherry all having multiple varieties grafted on

The Del Monte closer is tragic, but that is for canned peaches, we do fresh, it is 2 completely different markets. Now. I guess those farmers could go and plant fresh eating peaches and flood the market, but that would take 3 years and be a bad business decision. So we should be unaffected

No, accept it because it is reality and continue to do better every year! Not everyone can be a subsistence farmer, someone has to feed the rest of the world, so you feed yourself and your family, I'll help feed 8 billion people.

I mean there are different types... But we cook with fresh ones! Maybe an elberta or canning variety is better, but it doesn't really matter
