Living along the USA’s west coast, Mark and Patricia enjoy a long growing season in their garden.  Every couple of years, deep snowfalls for a week or two had temperatures lower than usual for a colder winter.  The snow is a bright background to the many birds that feed on Patricia’s birdfeeders.

Many of their seasonal plants passed when the snow arrives. When spring warms the air, other plants begin to thrive, lifting their heads above the soil.

There are amazing three 100+ years apple trees of a variety not known or seen in the markets.  The largest of the three is the sweetest gorgeous flavoured apples ever.
