Gardening for Old Folks (Adaptative)

here is a shot of the shelf under the stairs in the shop
I gathered bits and pieces from about a half dozen areas in the shop and they are all here.
bonus, I have 8ft boards on the floor underneath.

with a little luck, there should be a picture or our 45 to 50 year old apple tree.
it is a volunteer that grew out of a pile of apple scraps tossed out for the chickens.
each of the two trunks produces a different kind of apple.
the branches on the other side of the tree are long ago dead and gone.
this is a bumper year for blossoms on all the trees around here.
there are all kinds of different kinds of bees.
I hope the frost holds off.
just for measurement on how tall the trees are, it is seven feet from the bottom edge of the blossoms to the ground.
I got up at sunrise to get a picture of the plum tree. it is it's second year to produce plums. the blossoms are really holding on.
good, gives the bees more time to work.

Either too much or not enough rain.
Always weird when sun and rain at the same time
