#apple berry

Dw y’all, time loop is still a thing. I’ve always wanted to put Mailey in it. But she’s not canon to the actual lore- this is just a what if.

(She’s been grey-scaled here, and Wally got a slight redesign) Mailey gets in a lot of trouble here, and often has to get stitched back up by Wally. But sometimes she’ll never find that part- so sometimes Wally gets different fabrics and fleece. (Mailey also hates Wally’s guts here… but she softens up later- but rn she absolutely blames him for ruining her home and their universe. But she stays with him since she has nothing else.)

(Edit : I fucking forgot his pupils-)

Bush foods are on the menu of fancy restaurants everywhere, but Clarence has some tips for growing your own. And if you’re short of space don’t worry – many edible native plants are perfectly suited to growing in containers.

Clarence is combining a few plants in a large 50cm pot – you need something at least 40cm across to give plants room to grow. The plastic pot will then sit inside a more ornamental holding pot, which will also help insulate the inner pot from the direct sun.

The pot is filled with a premium potting mix that will provide good drainage and nutrition. For some natives, especially those in the Proteaceae family, a low-phosporous mix is essential, but for the plants Clarence has chosen, any premium mix is suitable.

As a central feature plant, Clarence has chosen a favourite – Cinnamon myrtle, which is related to lemon myrtle. Both can be used to make a herbal tea; simply cover 1-2 leaves with hot water and allow to steep. The leaves can also be used in baking and even curries. Both trees also originate from rainforests along Australia’s east coast, so need protection from hot afternoon sun. As a small tree, is will get quite large in the pot but can be kept small by regular pruning; trim back to just above a leaf node to encourage more leaf growth.

Next in the pot is Midyim berry (Austromyrtus dulcis). It has pretty white star-shaped flowers, but its main attraction is the fruit that develop from these. Clarence describes their taste as a mix between cinnamon, blueberry and sherbet. There are a few Austromyrtus species to choose from in the garden. Narrow-leaf Myrtle is slightly taller, and a hybrid of the two is called ‘Copper Tops’, named for its reddish new growth.

Clarence adds an Apple Berry to the pot, too. These will grow in a range of climate, and produce tubular fruit that are ripe to eat when yellow. Clarence describes the flavour as between kiwifruit and stewed apple (with a seed inside)!

Their scrambling habit means they can trail over the edge of the pot.

The final plant for the pot is a native violet, whose flowers can be used to decorate cakes and salads.

Love it when there's cool™ folks with extensive historical knowledge of lore and ancient lineages who have gone through losses and sought questionable ways of achieving their goals + having indirect connection to their respective beings of worship

Apple Blueberry Crisp Recipe

🍄 🍂

This apple tree was sold to me in 1999 as a semi-dwarf Stayman Winesap. It is not semi-dwarf; it is in fact gigantic by apple tree standards. It isn't Stayman Winesap, or even red at all. Because I planted it in the correct spacing for smaller trees, it has almost completely overshadowed its nearest neighbor, a rather nice Golden Delicious. It responds to pruning by aggressively getting Much Larger. The apples are divine. I love her; I'm vexed by her; I hope she lives forever. I'm deeply curious about what I'd get if I planted some of her seeds.

Strawberries, rhubarb, two small blueberry bushes, and Nanking cherry bushes that did, even though their blooming time was cold, set fruit. I will continue to try to acidify the blueberries; maybe add some acid once a week until the soil tests around 5 pH.
