it is years since I ate into a juicy sweet red apple. They are grown for numbers and looks rather than taste....like water melons are so often had pink color injected to make them look tasty altho. This year I did have a beautiful water melon and ate all of it over a couple of weeks. Jim doesn't eat water melon so I had the lot.

Re: Good evening

No we have to pick up bucketful's. Our fault really we should spray to destroy pests.

These days I don't like chemical spays and the pears do seem immune. 🌺

Re: Good Morning

Sadly no as I explained to S.G. 99.9 percent are grafted, thank you have first bite.🌺

Re: sea gypsy

No it is a job to predict the fruit from seed. Trees are usually grown and grafted with 

a named variety, or an orchard would be a poor mix. Very occasionally one might see

a edible one in a hedgerow.  🌷

Good Morning

I love red apples.  It's nice to have a bowl of apples sitting on the table.  If I had an apple I would share it with you.  I wonder if one of the apple seeds would grow a tree?

Good evening

When I was a child we had several varieties of apple trees on our property. I always favored the sweet apples over the green ones and the crab apples, but when it came top cleaning them up, I hated them all.
