picking/cold
OK, it got cold last night we experienced below freezing temps for about 12 hours, Wow! What does this mean for the apples that are left hanging? Well I,m am not exactly sure but think the longer we wait before picking again I think it will be better. For sure our commercial picking of Macs and Cortlands is finished, frozen fruit will not stand up in storage. That being said varieties that have naturally evolved as later ripening will be OK to pick and consume. Crispin, Fuji, Golden Delicious and others will still be available for picking this weekend, (10/ 17 and 18), and we hope for next weekend. The sun is shining now, get out here and pick some apples and get a pumpkin. Sunday’s forecast looks a bit damp but we will be here. Chuck
