lol ... Does 14 apple trees constitute an orchard ?? Regardless, that's what I call it. lol Planted two Pear trees and two Plum trees a couple years back as well. The plums died. Couldn't handle the Winter even though they were rated for my zone. I will try again in spring with a different variety. Also have to put in more Asparagus. I yield a lot, but its not enough... lol I love the stuff on the grill. Hey, On the right under the apple trees is the satellite that keeps me sane by allowing me to stay in contact with all my "MedHelp Homeys" !! Thanks for the comments. Its not much, but its paid for and I'm content. ..... Burrpatch
They are "Old World" apples That the German settlers planted though out the area. When I first arrived here 12 years ago they were in bad shape from under maintenance and feeding. I fed them, pruned them and sprayed for the usual blights and bugs. It took a couple years, but now they produce a nicely rounded apple that is quite tasty. Much like a Macintosh. Yum, Yum. lol Apples have always been my favorite fruit. I use them for eating, apple sauce, compote for pies, cinnamon apple crisps, target practice and deer feed. Cassy loves when they fall in the fall !! She thinks they're "Ball Trees", lol. First she plays with them, then eats some of it. lol Only dog i know that likes apples. ... April; It was in such bad shape when I bought it that I practically did "Build it" lol. The cabin is made of 998 doors !! Walls, ceiling anyway !! Ha Ha !! Folks round here refer to it as "The house of doors". It was originally built in 1972 as a hunting cabin. I sunk in quite a bit of dough for improvements and have a ways to go, but its quite livable and comfortable. --- My closet neighbor is a non working farm a half mile away.
Nearest after that is another mile. Its 4 miles to town that consists of a Gas/Party store, a post office and a Bar !! lol Don't blink as your going through, you'll miss it !! lol Yummy...
