| A taste of things to come at the Arlington Farmers Market on July 19. |
The note says "baking apple," a fair assessment of Lodi, which never seems to be very good for eating out of hand.
Still it is a harbinger of delights to come.
This spring has not been kind to local orchards, but hope blooms when the early apples appear at farmers market.
Today, July 20, I harvested my Lodi apples. I've been eating them for a week (see the pucker?). They were marginally sweeter today.
ReplyDeleteMy best crop ever.
I was able to donate 151.2 lbs. to a local food bank and they were elated to get them. Saved a few to continue eating until the Pristine are ready on August 7, and enough to make a pie.
