The last of the apples

That was the last Honey Crisp apple that we picked last fall at the orchard across the river. Behind it is the heirloom apple tree near the house. Hopefully those blossoms mean we will have a good harvest this year.


My son thinks those Honey Crisp last pretty well. We picked these in September and they are still good today. They have dehydrated some, so the skin is a little wrinkled. But the flesh was still firm and not meally. Still a good eating apple.


Four years ago, we planted a pair of our own honey crisp trees. They might bare this year, but we probably have a year before we get apples from this tree.


This weekend we planted another nine fruit trees, Apples, Pears and cherries. We are hoping to have a variety of fruit here.
