The Homestead came with two producing apple trees. We gave them some amateur care and watering and they grew some pretty nice apples. Unfortunately, we only sprayed once, and that was not enough to keep them from becoming wormy. Probably about sixty percent of them are too bad to eat. (It would be good to have a pig to feed.) But, even with just 40% of the crop, we are filling the freezer: apple sauce, apple butter, apple crisp, dried apple, apple scampi. OK, not that last one, but we're almost ready for winter. The harvest is well underway.
