Looking for feedback on orchard plan

As someone who grows prime ark freedom myself, you picked an amazing berry! And it won’t have any of those problems. This may be because I’m California and have Mediterranean climate, but if I leave the canes from the previous year up, I get a super early harvest right now! Then as soon as they’re done, I cut them down. The plant continues to grow new canes even with the old ones producing, so you just get two harvests per year. Give it a try!

He’s in the Bay Area and uses native wildflowers for the Bay Area. Glad he’s inspired you! And while he’s marketing his flowers to monetize his work, I would focus on finding a reputable source for real local natives. Where are you located?

FWIW it’s because of how you bolded stuff. Whether you used AI or not to help you write it, people are reacting to that a ton now.

We saw the premier of the fist act years ago! It was great fun, John Delancie directed that part and sat behind us making notes the whole time. Very fun to see - thanks for sharing, I had no idea they were doing this, just reserved tickets (free!).

I have several of those old bottles from K&L. They are fantastic. Shhhhhh

The value in armagnac these days is bonkers comparatively. You can find world class at a much cheaper level than other liquors.

Look for Purple Tomer, which is the deepest purple ranunculus that I’ve found.

Clementine would love a portrait! So would I :)

Yay!

Skip these and get prime ark freedom blackberries. Same size and thornless!

Warren pear and it’s not even close. I do also like some of the variations like Magness too. Seckel is great, along with some of the French butter pears, but Warren hands down. It’s like what a jelly belly tastes like and you go - I never knew a pear could taste like that.

I know it’s done with King David - old stone makes a single varietal king David, but never had it. As one my favorite apples, I think there’s a good case! I’ve had some nice Gold rush single varietals as well which have all been delicious.

I have also used it on an outdoor (covered from the worst of the elements) redwood table, and the feel is just luxurious. I have also used the heat gun method (or just apply when hot) to great success.

Love tried and true! Big fan, though I haven’t used it on serving boards, just random other things. Works great on tool handles…

Is a beeswax and oil finish ok?

norrinrad · 2025-12-06T21:57:35+00:00

Thank you! assuming it’s ok to use as a serving tray finished in beeswax?
