apple harvest

apples 072

I picked all my apples today. A bit early. The squirrel had started eating one (he thinks they're ready!) and hurricane Irene is coming in tomorrow and I don't know if the wind might blow then around. The 20 heavy apples seemed so big on my little tree! Some branches were weighted down almost to the grass.

I've read that apples ripen up after picking. They sure look pretty! I'm admiring them in a bowl on my table.

  2. I am jealous of your beautiful apples. I planted a Northern Spy this season and didn't get a single one.

  4. I love your garden and the fact that you get fresh fruits and vegetables. I picked fresh tomatoes recently and there is a world of difference in taste.

  9. Man o man those apples look delicious! I am almost at the point of growing my own in order to make some fresh apple pies! Home grown is still by far the best. Cheers. :)
