Apple Harvest 2015


We picked the last of our Gala apples from the tree today, I think that qualifies as an official sign of fall!  The apples are smaller than usual, which I assume is result of the drought. We did have one day of rain this week, which we never, ever get in September, the garden loved it.  We're hoping this is a prelude to the very wet winter that has been predicted, and cross our fingers for a bigger crop next year.

Apple Harvest


Our apple harvest came early this year, due to the exceptionally warm and dry spring and early summer weather.  It's a record crop, we've harvested over 50 gala apples from our small espaliered tree.  All organically grown.
