A Year Of Ample Apples

#288: Truly Delicious

.....................

Here we have Ashmead's Kernel (so sweet!) and Grimes Golden (crispy, and tasty too) apples.  No spraying, mind you, so I quarter them and remove anything untoward.  Banner year could be from all the wood ash I've spread under the trees.

 

And here we have what we thought were Calville Blanc apples (reputed to be from the time of Louis XIV); an apple whose vitamin C content is greater than found in an orange--often used in pies.  But, uncertainty reigns as this photo shows something quite different.  Perhaps the nursery who sold us our tree had too many of something else.  Still, a great tasting, fine looking apple.
