Rood Remarks are posted by Tim Hensley of  the Urban Homestead, a family-run nursery specializing in heirloom apple trees.  Tim has written articles for a variety of publications including Mother Earth News, Grit, Old House Journal, Old Farmers’ Almanac, Fine Gardening, and Smithsonian Magazine.   The aim of the blog is to give practical advice to home orchardists, against the rich and varied background of the history of fruit growing in America–a weekly harvest, if you will, of garden sense and sensibility.
