Wiersch I Was Gardening

 I'm doing a presentation at the Loomis Library this Saturday on Fruit Tree Selection and Getting Started.   It's the 4th time I have presented this but I keep learning more things and I keep tweaking my presentation.   Here is the presentation in Google Slides: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/16UXLYcBByhU4T7qmB7vMjeETTz513lRbG0yhtLpvi0M/edit?usp=sharing As I mentioned in my last post, this winter I am adding an apple from the Felix Gillet Institute via Peaceful Valley called Reinette Franche: https://www.groworganic.com/products/reinette-franche-apple.  I was not following my own advice I give in the presentation above as this tree might fall out of my idea chill hours, it might need a little more than we get here at 600 feet in Penryn.   I wanted to support them and I have space for apples that might not get enough chill each year but should be close.   Peaceful Valley says 800-900 chill hours.
