Apple Tree To Be

Four sunflower varieties — Dwarf Incredible, Earth Walker, Lemon Queen, Velvet Queen — picked for Van Gogh's palette. 15g covers 125 sq ft. Zones 5–9, blooms mid-summer through fall.

Eleven things in one block — egg, larva, pupa; queen, worker, drone; comb in two forms, a queen cell, beeswax and honey. Real specimens set by hand, like an old teaching cabinet. 5.5 in wide, the largest of the studies.

A stainless steel hand shovel and hand fork on green wooden handles. Weighted properly — the step up from whatever came in the starter kit.

Antique woven willow, about 18 in across and 19 in tall with the handle up. Each one is a different basket — patina, size and wear all vary.

UPF 50+ and a genuinely wide brim — coverage for a full day out, not a token gesture. 16 in across laid flat.

Twenty flowers honeybees work — bergamot, lacy phacelia, New England aster, baby blue-eyes, California poppy among them. Non-GMO, open-pollinated. Zones 4–9. Reusable recycled-steel tin, 2 in across. In cool climates sow spring, early summer, or late enough in fall that it waits for spring.

Three tomatoes on the vine hooked in wool against a warm ochre ground — gold, not cream, which makes it read late-summer rather than spring. 6 x 12 in mini lumbar, insert included.
