First day of hunting season n all I got were these “shots” of some of my Apple trees and thimble berry patch. Pretty wet out there lol. I would have snapped pics of the raspberry patch farther back but I was focused on whether that noise was a bear or a bird lol

Man that is an OLD apple tree! Still bearing, looks like good apples too!

Buds look yummy too!! I figured they would be a lot farther along than mine way up there, is it frosting at night yet?

We’ve had 2 light frosts, but I’m lakeside so it didn’t hit as hard. My step dad bought this property in the 60s, to my knowledge those trees were old then lol. Got bout 7 to 10 apple trees in that spot and bout half a dozen scattered throughout the property. One of the bigger thimble berry patches in the county too. The dirt here is excellent, and so close to the world’s largest natural freshwater pool, the natural filtration is great and the constant flow of the creek keeps most everything alive. Love it here.

Lol well here’s hoping the high is “outta this world”. Hopefully in a couple weeks I can start harvesting, I hate pushing into the frost months. Sometimes they take longer, n I gotta decide if risking frost damage and mold/rot issues is worth it. I think I took my plants a little too early last year, so I’m TRYING to be patient. Gotta laugh at the couple charlie browns I got. Thinking bout hanging a red Christmas bulb on one n snapping a pic just before harvest. Think I could win a “smallest but still producing” contest?.. kinda sounds like a “small penis” contest, n who wants to win that? I apologize for the analogy, but it’s spot on lol.
