The annual pause of many farmers markets, and the brutally early end of Daylight Savings Time on Sunday, ushered in the fading eleventh month with a bleak flourish.
Plenty of apples still abound, for a short while, but you must hunt for them.

Under grey skies at today's market in Davis Square, Somerville, one could choose from 20 apples, including these blushed Granny Smith.
You'll never see a blush on Granny in the supermarkets. Granny is a late-season apple often picked too soon.
Latecomer
Though it's late in the season, we were joined today by
Winesap for what I
think was the first time this year. (We had
Stayman Winesap last week,
but the two are
not the same.)

GoldRush should be ready this week at my place in NH. They are my last few trees with apples. A great tasting apple to end the season.
ReplyDeleteA great apple to put by until the spring too!
