I ended up getting Honey Crisp and Baldwin, semi-dwarf rootstock. I'm a total newbie to pruning, but I'm leaning towards the "don't try too hard, trees know how to be trees" school of thought, lol.. open to any advice from more experienced people though!
The violet tea was fun, I love the pH based color change from pouring in lemon juice! Planning to use it in cocktails next time, that would make a great party trick.
:D Most of the garlic mustard ended up in the compost because I was lazy but I definitely want to make some more pesto in the future.
