Next weekend the orchard where I buy my apples opens for the season! I can hardly wait.

Thinking about biting into one of those cruncy, juicy Gravensteins has me drooling....

Those are my favorite.We live in Ma and they don't have them here.I miss them.Have one for me will you.

I have 5 apple trees in my back yard. It is wonderful. But I sure see a lot go to waste and that makes me sad.

Oh Trish, I wish I lived next door. I'd take as many apples as I could and make things out of them.

I have fruit trees in the backyard too, but just planted them about 2 years ago so they aren't bearing much yet.

But all the fruit that's not fit for human consumption gets fed to my chickens, so none of it goes to waste.

I might be unusual but I usually have to make an effort to eat apples. They aren't my favorite but they do generally go well with other items such as cheese or peanut butter.
