What did you do in your orchard today?

It's kinda like cheese for me -- enough for winter already stored. But my factory is still producing You do get your fill tho. I'll make a couple batches of hard cheese next week, while home.

Satisfaction and thankfulness for the bounty we're provided

Tasted very good, not a sugar bomb. We both could taste the plums and apples more than enough for us over winter.

Looks good. I don't like my jams/butters real sweet. I'm always using less sugar & cooking down more. More fruit taste

I just mowed in the orchard. Our golden delicious apples have started to develop brown spots, so I need to pick them and do something with what is still good. I asked FB to make me two pie crusts, so it's looking like i'll be baking another apple pie.

These brown spots, I thought were brown rot last year. But now I'm questioning my inital diagnosis, or the fungicide I sprayed to contol brown rot, isn't as effective on apples as I thought it should be...

summer apple rots is something i'll need to study more closer over winter and work on next season, it's to late now. I'll also get this under control eventually, like I did with our peaches .
