I thought growing stuff up here would be boring.

We have a smaller set of things we can grow, but the season is like riding a rocket, and there are fewer diseases etc than down south.

These are the varieties of apples I'm planting this year, with date of origin:
~1700      Ashmead's kernel (my favourite outside golden russet)
~1940      Wickson crab
Modern     Dexter Jackson
1993       Enterprise
1920/2008  Frostbite (used in breeding programs for decades before it was given a public release)
~1800      Golden Russet
1950       Goodland
1831       Hudson's Golden Gem
1930       Redfield
1986       September Ruby
<1822      Tolman Sweet
1973       Trailman crab
1868       Wealthy (first full-sized apple grown in minnesota)
~1870      Wolf River

(among my plums is a german prune plum from the 16th century, also very cool)

Not boring.
