I wonder if the fruit growing articles, accessed from the front page of the old Home Orchard Society website, could somehow be rolled into that change. Most if not all of the articles were written by members, I would use them regularly as a reference when preparing for specific tasks like pruning my neighbors Hayward kiwi. The fruit growing articles were really a hidden gem of the website near as I can tell. At least the way my brain works with colors or setup or left to right orientation or such, I think it took me some years to even discover there were articles… there was no two ways about it, and the text just kind of camouflaged into the background. I would bet that even among long term Home Orchard Society members on this forum the numbers among them that had ‘found’ their way to the fruit growing articles would be a small percentage; of those finding value to the information there, I’d say, would be a high percentage.

 I asked the question, when the original Home Orchard Society website was going offline, as to whether that information could be made accessible. I believe an answer that it all remains somewhere layered in the cloud or some such equally mystifying to me, not one wit of any sort of computer programming or coding savvy, unraveling the how to get there being not something that I have much interest in pursuing. Thinking that a few keystrokes from those knowledgeable might be able to incorporate access to those tasty tidbits. There might be even an article around apple bloom times written by Ted Swenson, or maybe not, hard to say, haven’t seen the article index for some time. If so, I suppose we might have to revisit if there were an original license to use said articles, or if there was a stated or implied consent to use in the ‘commons’, and if that still applies. Don’t know if any was copyrighted or all public domain. And, I hope that idea does not stop the looking into the request. I’d imagine originally the articles were donated to the Home Orchard Society  ‘Commons’.
