Eighteen is something like 180 in internet years. I never imagined when I started this blog in 2008 (an experiment writing about "a year of apples" ) that I'd learn so much, or that I'd still be learning and blogging in 2026.

Possibly that year year-long commitment is what kept me going. I bagged 44 apples in the first six months (a number I have never matched in any subsequent full year). It would have been easy to quit when things inevitably got harder to write about in the winter.
Instead I ploughed on until the next late July. Of course by then the whole wonderful show was just beginning again, and I was hooked.
A journey and a catalog
It is perhaps self indulgent, but for me this blog is not a mere catalog, but a personal journey that you, gentle reader, are invited to share.
See you at farmers market.

Congratulations, Adam! Most bloggers give up after a few weeks. You make my blog look weak with its mere 16 years. Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteAnything older than a decade is equally ancient! Congratulations yourself.
DeleteAs someone who grew up in the 1960s on an apple orchard, I love reading your blog. It brings back some great memories. Thanks for doing it.
