🍏 Every apple holds a small universe of texture, color, and orchard biology. Bite, browning, and blossom reveal quiet patterns shaped by physics and living systems.

🌱 A single fruit can carry many stories at once.
Wassailing, which I always associated with spiced hard cider and Christmas carols, turns out (also) to be a pagan fertility rite focussing on fruit trees, which is gaining in popularity!
Inside Europe did a story on this the week before last (starts at 48:15)...

A UK by-election that could spell trouble for Prime Minister Keir Starmer, a wrap-up of the Munich Security Conference, a look at the Berlinale and whether it’s still political, and France’s last newspaper hawker.

Interest in installing solar panels in vineyards is growing. Here's a paper from Australia that examines their impact on pear trees & fruit.
tl/dr Panels created shade, which reduced yield, sugar concentration & color, but lessened impacts of extreme weather (heat and hail).
This study used fixed panels at 45° and 5°, with the latter causing greater crop losses, but power production was similar.
