Who doesnt love a freshly picked apple? That is my granddaughter eating her first apple right off the tree! This weekend we will be picking the last of the Sweet Sixteen and Honey Crisp. We will also start picking McIntosh. A very delicious apple. Its crunchy, tart and alittle sweet. Good for anything from pies to apple sauce or eating right from the tree! I think next weekend we will start picking Haralred. They are almost identical to a Haralson except the Haralred is alittle more red in color and they ripen just a bit before the Haralson. Along with that, will be Snow Sweet. They should be ready in a week or so. I'll let you know when after I try one and see. Thats a benefit of having an orchard. I get to try alot of apples and at different times to see whne they are just right. We will also have both cider and honey this weekend too. Fall is finally here and the cooler weather will help the apples for sure. See you then!
