An Apple A Day

 Our friends had a BUMPER apple crop this year.

We were the lucky beneficiaries of the crop.

 Our kitchen turned into an apple processing machine.

We now have canned

applesauce and pie filling.

We also have

dried apples and fruit leather, 

GALORE!

Not to mention all the fresh crisp apples we ate.

 But 9823897624387lbs of apples didn't prove to be enough.

So, we went apple picking again and

again and

 again!

Did you know that planting a seed from a variety of apple does not guarantee your tree will grow that specific variety?  Grafting is the only way to ensure your variety grows.

Did you know there are over 2000 varieties of apples?

My favorite...honeycrisp!
