A trio of honeycrisp apples 🍎

This excellent variety was developed by Glenn Drowns, owner of the Sand Hill Preservation Center in Iowa. After years of searching for a watermelon that would ripen in his short Idaho growing season, Glenn decided to breed one himself. By the time he was 20 years old, Glenn had stabilized the ‘Blacktail Mountain’ watermelon.

A favorite of many gardeners across the USA.

When the days have grown in length
When the sun has greater power,
shining in high noon day strength
When the elder tree is in flower
When each shady kind of place, by the stream
and up the lane shows its massive creamy lace
Summer has really come again
