Apples!

My little Granny Smith apple tree has two clusters of blooms right now. This is the second season for this tree, and I will leave one or two apples to ripen. My two Gala apple trees won't have fruit this year as one is a new tree, and the other was just moved to a better growing location. Gala's are my favorite apple (Granny Smith is great for baking!) and I can't wait for them to fruit next year!

One Last Picture From Idaho

This is a picture of an apple tree that is in my Dad's yard, and it is full of apples. I was walking through the small town of Sandpoint and saw that there are many apple (and pear) trees that were full of fruit, with the ground underneath littered with more fruit. I think it would have been easy to get permission to gather the fruit--think of the applesauce it would make! Apple pies!! Makes my mouth water! [Click on picture to enlarge it].
