I spent about an hour, thinning apples on the mini trees. I'm impressed at the fruit set this year, despite not seeing nearly as many bees....

Good on your daughter! But also, for shame! to the rest of them. Pathetic!
What a beautiful kitchen garden. I wish I knew gardeners like you in my neighborhood. They mostly grow lawns here. Those metal sided raised...
