These bins were totally filled and I still have another load to grab from the community orchard. I had to pick the ones that were weighing down branches without the potential for growing well. They’re not ripe yet but are usable and I didn’t want to dump any I could save. I also have like 50kg of semi-ripe plums to pickle and turn into wine. The apple butter will go with some homemade bread.
So many earwigs. I had them falling on me all day. The borer holes were a big target today and are what separated my livestock bin from the human one. We don’t spray the trees so maybe 30% of the apples had bore holes even a couple months before harvest.
