Why an APPLE TREE is one of the best perennials for your garden!
I spend the video harvesting and talking about the apple tree. I recommend this tree as one of my top 3 for any garden. Delicious, versatile, hardy, what's not to like!!
Speak to your local nursery or visit your state extension service to find some varieties that grow in your area. If you are truly an apple nerd, Wikipedia offers an extensive list of apple varieties.
Apple Hill, near Placerville, CA also has may opportunities to taste apple varieties in fall. One of my favorites is the Larsen Apple Barn with more than 20 varieties and a bake shop!

    11:00 Looks like it might be some kind of greenhouse whitefly insect - very difficult to get rid of once they have multiplied, I have seen people go at them with a vacuum to get the bulk of them, and then use an organic oil spray. A trap crop might help draw them away from the grapes - like growing some nasturtium around the area

    See the trees you could have, in my video about "pruning" trees but in french, I'm in south east Spain, 200 various fruit trees, and 4 varieties of apple trees, so I harvest apple from May to December. Here we have around one week per year of freeze in early morning only, around 0 degrees celcius

      Apple trees are often said to grow in zones 3-8. I live in zone 10 southern california. We get about 16 inches of rain a year. Despite this apple trees really thrive and often produce thousands of apples per tree per year, and reliably annual, I've never seen a biennial apple tree

    Your tomatoes look like they have "Grazon" or similar Aminopyralid poisoning. Curled, narrow leaves, leggy, slow growth, thickened, 'wrinkled' leaves. etc. Did you have low germination rates? Losing flowers before they set fruit/veg? This happened to me last year. It's a new herbicide that remains toxic toward plants (other than grasses) when horses and cows eat it and it passes through. If you bought composted manure in a bag or even from a farmer- you might have it in your pots. Some plants are affected more than others- greens less so than vegetables. This stuff is horrifying. 40 years gardening and never seen anything like it. I thought aphids at first,, then started wondering about viruses, etc. Mind boggling. I was so mad when I found out what the problem was. If the plants are poisoned with this stuff you want to burn them, not compost. Toxin is persistent. ua-cam.com/video/bur8HewkpQw/v-deo.html
