I'm in British Columbia Canada, so it's harvest season for us. I already have homemade apple sauce in the pantry, and honestly I am coveting some of the trees that grow off to the side of the roads.

My lovely friend's family have an orchard and sell there products at a local market> I get paid in apples when I go to help. <br />My partner and I inherited a heap of fruit trees when we bought our house - cherries, pears, apples (golden delicious and granny smith), white peaches, yellow peaches, green gages, yellow drop plums and oranges, not to mention the huge and plump old fashioned raspberries and grapes. I usually find golden delicious apples too sweet but straight from the tree they are crisp and just sweet. Most of our trees are blossoming and at the moment the pear trees are laden with blossoms. I love it when the pear begin to take shape - such teeny perfect pears.<br />Good luck with your apple season.Nichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08344093454588416071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-39539269210473533932012-10-09T18:30:23.773+11:002012-10-09T18:30:23.773+11:00yum!!!!! when you make apple cider can you show us...yum!!!!! when you make apple cider can you show us how to do this on a blog postSofiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06934748590174960163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-37888741190011692542012-10-09T18:15:46.291+11:002012-10-09T18:15:46.291+11:00Hi; I just found your blog and saw the picture wit...Hi; I just found your blog and saw the picture with the lovely girl with her red hat...<br />I read about appleblossems and looked again for the date...it sounds like spring, while I just had my ( little) appleharvest this week??!!!<br />Then I saw you live just at the opposite of the world from me ( the netherlands!) <br />Ha,Ha; We are full in spring here!<br />I realy hope you will have good appleseason!<br />greetings from Fleurfleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982209870117619979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-87456732821011976512012-10-09T15:15:31.133+11:002012-10-09T15:15:31.133+11:00Oh yes a long wait but such a worthwhile one.

I especially was moved about your Dad comment, I am obsessed with the weather too thanks to my Dad. He's a 'bloke from the bush', that's how he describes himself, and he's a builder. He's in the weather all day everyday. Still. In his 70s. We alway chat about how many points of rain we got and what's going on in the farms about town.<br />PS I love a Pink Lady, too!Crayon Chickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10210540455564805685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-53745475879231079702012-10-09T08:24:14.710+11:002012-10-09T08:24:14.710+11:00Yes, A Walk In The Clouds...

The delicious you buy in the shops are not very nice any more so now I buy red gala from our farmers market when they're in season. Bonzas are not bad either.

I do watch the weather because I have a veggie patch here in the UK and unfortunately, the rain has made everything a wash out. Although, I still have parsnips in the ground and I am hoping the foliage on the top is an indication of what's underneath!
