Apples


Recommended Posts

We harvested some apples from our tree yesterday because very high winds were predicted for last night. The winds harvested more apples last night and I found this one hidden in the grass..

It must have been really cold..😁

We harvested the rest of the apples from our tree and found another set of cojoined apples.

A number of things can cause misshapen fruit. If the weather is cold and rainy during blossom, incomplete pollination can cause misshapen fruit. Apple scab, a fungal disease, can also cause the fruit to be less than perfect. Feeding from the rosy apple aphid can cause fruits to have a puckered appearance. 

If the foliage on the trees looks healthy, I'd guess the misshapen fruit is weather related

Daydream -

Scientists have discovered that daydreaming is an important tool for creativity. It causes a rush of activity in a circuit, which connects different parts of the brain and allows the mind to make new associations.

My wife made a huge jar of applesauce and this morning we are having pumpkin pancakes with homemade applesauce. Hmmm👍

🤔Interesting combo...pumpkin and apple.

I shall have to try that the next time I make pancakes.

 

I cook my oatmeal with apple juice instead of with just milk, or water.

The apple juice/apple cider turns boring,

bland oatmeal into a downright yummy breakfast. :D

Pumpkin pancakes with an apple compote is delicious. She use to make that for the SKE students when she was on the cooking team. One of the students used it for an illustration about self control..🤣

I hope no one gets offended if I say, they kinda look like boobies.

Hope this doesn't sound too sad but it made me think of siamese twins..

One small crack doesn't mean you are broken; it means that you were put to the test and didn't fall apart..

the first time we have found deformed apples..

I had similar effects happen on figs in the N Georgia US area.   Since figs often show up before leaves I noticed what appeared to be bacterial wilt on the first ones and the following baby leaves.  Worried, I pulled as many off as I could reach but later (new ones seemed to be OK)  I fould smatttered among the regrowth figs with a similar issue but more like one large fig growing off the end of a smaller first stunted growth, but clearly a second fig!  All my fig bushes had similar issue with leaves but not total failure, whew!  First time in 30 years!  I use the leaves in tea and ferments as well so I was really was careful to pull off ALL the wilty darkened ones that first showed up!   Also when I dug up the sweet potatoes I found a hundred peach pits buried by squirrels in the ground near them and none of the pits had nutmeat in them!      Every year there is a noteable oddity, this year a few!  😵

These anomolies make me see where early farmers might have gotten the idea to plant the seeds from such ones to see IF that full bodied trait could be passed on to the next generation.   Those natural variations would be safe to grow and eat but doubtful in GMOs requiring chemicals to even have existence...   New system is gonna be fun for us farmer types!   And as a consumer I am thinking give me a bowlful of THOSE!   lol  I do grape fasts!  Those (if truly organic) would be wonderful!
