This was once again, a bad year for our orchard. We were able to harvest 4 sad, little peaches and the cherry, plum, and plumcot trees gave up. They didn’t even bother to try. I think they know that deep down, they’re safe. I’m not cutting down a perfectly healthy tree. It can continue to forget growing fruit and it will still be allowed to grow.
Luckily, we have one little red delicious apple tree that decided to make up the slack from the other trees. I have been overloaded with apples the last two weeks and my days have been spent washing, peeling, dicing, measuring, stirring, hauling, and canning the absolute deliciousness that is apple pie filling.
