First Fruits

Harvest time is mostly in September.

At least that has been true for our area of the Pacific Northwest. However, Chehalis Apples, a local variety, produced an abundant amount of fruit and, some of it started to fall to the ground more than a week ago.
We tasted the fruit and it was sweet. So, we started harvesting. This is a picture of me with the first of four tubs of just Chehalis Apples. We also have Honey Crisp, Liberty, Gala, Granny Smith, and Yellow Delicious that are not yet ready for harvest.

My wife has been making apple sauce and apple juice with what we have. We’ve also begun harvesting black and blue berries. It looks like this winter will be a time of many pies.
