Honey Crisp Apples<\/p><\/div>\n

Apple season is finally here.\u00a0 We planted this honey crisp apple tree about 5 years ago. This is the first year that we have had a good crop of apples.\u00a0 We bought the tree bare root.\u00a0 It was practically a little stick with roots.\u00a0 After planting it in the fall we didn’t expect blossoms on the tree in the spring but there were.\u00a0 No apples developed that year.\u00a0 The next year there were no blossoms at all.\u00a0 The third time a few blossoms and a couple of wormy apples.\u00a0 The fourth year we were optimistic but because of a late frost that killed all the blossoms there were no apples.\u00a0 This year has been good to us.\u00a0 The tree blossomed and we had an abundance of fruit growth.\u00a0 My husband was continually out there thinning them.\u00a0 We have had to put braces up to keep the trees branches from falling and breaking with the weight. \u00a0 I’ve sprayed it twice to try and keep the worms down.\u00a0 Although we now see that I needed to either do it earlier or more often.\u00a0 There are a number of apples with little worm holes in them.\u00a0 Other than that there haven’t been to many things I’ve had to worry about.\u00a0 Well that’s not true there is one pest that is causing my apples to disappear. They’re about 15 years old and one of them lives next door.\u00a0 Yep that’s right it’s the pesky teenager.\u00a0 For a couple of weeks we have been getting after our kids for eating the apples and leaving the cores in the road.\u00a0 They denied ever doing it but we knew the apples weren’t eating themselves.\u00a0 Well today I was cleaning my kitchen and heard a ruckus outside.\u00a0 I turned around just in time to see three teenage boys eating apples and throwing the core into the street.\u00a0 That’s right MY APPLES.\u00a0 This pest wouldn’t be so bad had they come and got my permission but no they just take.\u00a0 Well I guess I can’t blame them the apples look delicious and if I don’t say so myself are delicious.\u00a0 It’s hard to pass by without wanting a taste.\u00a0 I do like to make applesauce and pie filling every year.\u00a0 Maybe this year I won’t have to beg my neighbors for apples.\u00a0 I’ve made two apple pies so far and they have been the best apple pies.\u00a0 Next time I’ll share with you a step by step apple pie recipe.<\/p>\n
