We finally made it to the farm this weekend. 20 acres of apple trees and we harvested less than a bushel.
Most of the Golden Delicious had already dropped off the trees. There were a few Jonathons but they were so small and wormy they weren't worth picking. We totally missed the pears. Most of the ones we did pick were Northern Spies, and they were a little past their prime.
Oh well the deer will eat well this winter.

Too bad about the apples and pears. Lucky deer.

When we lived in VA we used to go apple picking; good memories and delicious apples. Now, it's just Food Lion. :-)
