It's great that they make a nice plaque just to let you know who donated what tree to the park.

I originally thought the modified Google Camera port was a bad alternative, but I started to get good results once I stopped using the presets of others and started to make my own adjustments. It's a very customizable app, but it seems that I still need to spend some time on it. Using my current settings to take pictures of the lake while the sun was out came up with something so unexpected that it completely threw me off.
While I think the image is pretty cool, it looks like a storm is rolling up behind me, which is far from accurate. I may have to work on multiple presets for different environments to solve this problem, because I can't rely on the stock camera from the Samsung or Pixel phones I have tried. They have a habit of taking horrible photos of nature. I should, however, mention that GCam cannot be found at the play store. I believe those are fake and may even contain ads.
If this does not work out for me, the final option would be to use the RAW format, if I generally want my photos to look fairly similar to what I was seeing at the time. Editing them in the Lightroom mobile app is pretty easy, but it's difficult to tell exactly what I am doing on such a small screen. I will either have to connect my phone to a monitor or become more comfortable using an open source alternative for desktop, such as darktable.

This was taken 90 minutes before the last photo I posted here, and the conditions were basically the same. The other is much closer to reality in comparison to this one, although pairing the two makes it look too vibrant.
When I compare the other to the type of photos that generally come out of the camera that was used to take it, it looks realistic enough to use, because the colors tend to be more aggressive. I feel like my eyes keep playing tricks on me.

I usually post about kiwiberries here since they can be grown much further to the north, but there are interesting things going on with the large-fruiting type. Some of the newest varieties awaken from dormancy very late and ripen much earlier than the others, and both of these traits are essentially required for most of those who wish to grow kiwi in North America.
The article mentions Tango and Hombre, but AU Golden Sunshine and Golden Tiger are the other two that I am currently aware of. They are still very rare and quite experimental though, so it's difficult to say how well they would likely perform further inland where the climate is more unstable.

USDA Develops Cold-Hardiness Kiwifruit for Immediate Release to Public : USDA ARS
ARS releases two easy to grow, freeze-tolerant kiwis for use by producers and nurseries in colder climate conditions.
The best thing about forwarding posts is that I can't edit them... or maybe that's the worst thing. I don't know.
The Prelude raspberry is the earliest ripening variety that I know of, but the size of the berries and their flavor are pretty average. In my climate, its one advantage hardly exists. Everything blooms and ripens in a more compact manner, so last year it was only ahead by a few days. This year, however, is very different. The grow season started much earlier than usual, so there is actually some distance between Prelude and the others. I would consider getting it again if I lived somewhere else, but at my current location, I would rather use the space for something else.
