Two 40 year old apple trees call our backyard home. Both trees were trimmed this year by professionals. They were filled with blossoms this spring, and I swear that EVERY blossom turned into fruit this year.Apple Harvesting started in August, with nephew Chris trucking them for his allowance, and it hasn't stopped yet.
I've made apple butter, apple sauce, barbecue sauce, sweet and sour sauce, apple crisp, canned cider, and multiple apple pies.All our closest friends have come over to pick apples.
We rake up load after load for compost.
Two pickup truck loads (life sized) were hauled away for a cider party.And yet, the lawn is still dappled with apples after the wind blows a little bit.
Just one more reason we should have goats (the dogs don't eat nearly enough to make a dent in our supply, and if they did, we'd be very sorry when we got home from work).
