Jody, your crisp, your crisp, longing for your crisp. That apple crisp that you baked for our bbq at Brian's was out of this world!!!! Doesn't it bug the crag out of you when so much of an apple is lost to those ding dang maggotty brats!!!! Can't stand that. I have an apple tree that is ready for harvesting now. It is not huge, it is called a Northland. It is a pretty yellow apple with pink blush on it. Very tasty. It should have been ready at the end of August, but is now ready for the pick, I think it has about 30 apples, hee, hee. Haven't counted, but I be thinkin' that. My poor Gravenstein. It should have had mounds of apples this year, it is now four years old, but it only had one. Go figure that one out!!!! I can't wait for next year, maybe it will give us some. But, yes, unfortunately, if one does not put a spray on the tree, you will get hideous fruit. That is what I have found out from my Sister, whom grows beautiful apples of many varieties on her farm which is about 30 minutes east of us. She also has walnuts, I am thinking they must be ready now!!! Zucchini bread here we come!!! Beautiful and most wonderful of these days, loving and living life. Cindi
