Black Diamond apples are a rare and striking variety of Hua Niu apples, known for their deep purple skin that appears almost black. Grown in the high-altitude regions of Tibet, they develop their unique color due to strong sunlight and cold nighttime temperatures. These apples are not only visually stunning but also sweet and crisp, making them highly prized and expensive.

Today in 1945, George Orwell published a devastating critique of Communism. Animal Farm reveals why every communist revolution follows the same tragic pattern: liberation to corruption to oppression. Here are 10 truths from Animal Farm Orwell warned us never to forget 🧵👇🏼

@LynnSosnoskie Having worked professionally with both crops, I can only sigh and mutter, "You can't fix stupid."

@LynnSosnoskie No! Nice to see professional, informative posts. Of course, I am biased towards agriculture. 🍎🍐🍑🍒🍓🫐🍇

I wonder if people are tired of hearing from me…

@LynnSosnoskie Yeah, it's pretty impressive

@LynnSosnoskie Great, I had one grower who sent me travel money every year.

A grower, not known for effusive compliments, told me today that he always learns something from my presentations. And asked me to put him in touch with someone so he could make a statement for my tenure package. 🙂

@keeper_orchard I have no idea what the baseline cold hardiness in pecans is or what the chilling requirements are. Best of luck

@MIbluedoc High 35/low 17

@keeper_orchard I used the breath stuff this every winter in Michigan

@MIbluedoc Upper 30s

@keeper_orchard That's good. Should be as dormant and winter hardy as possible. Were there signs of spring growth? I used to force cuttings to see when chilling was completed

@keeper_orchard How warm were the lows the previous week?

@keeper_orchard How cold?

@LynnSosnoskie Merry Christmas to you as well 🎆

The richest man in the world says Americans must suffer the "hardship" of $2 trillion in cuts to public spending, while he still gets tax cuts, government contracts, and corporate welfare. No wonder I got a little angry talking about it. See this week's full Coffee Klatch here: youtu.be/KXzkNKVLy9g
