Cold Hardy Plums and Cherry Hybrids: Fall Field Notes

The following is an experiment, it's a blog I've been writing for years through scattered social media posts, brought together into a magazine or editorial format.  It's an idea that's been on my mind for some time, in today's world the large platforms want every idea to be a flash in the pan, surfacing only the latest and what the algorithm prefers, probably someone dancing around or doing the most outrageous thing will find more views than a post about trees.  Even if you happen to follow our social media, many posts are only shown for a minute to a few of our followers.  The large platforms are walled gardens, and they actually make your experience poor if you want to dive deep, to explore and read, to test it just try and search through old instagram posts.  I've been using these tools to photo blog, to keep my own records about significant or interesting things related to the journey starting my little nursery, and learning about grafting, gardening, propagation, permaculture, and nature in general. This is a blog post, maybe a unique one because it's a simple compilation of Instagram posts grouped under one topic so they are easier to browse.  They're sorted by seasons, and the captions written are the original posts with some light editing (by me a real person - Doug @ Oak Summit Nursery).
