We went to Tri-Cities on Monday and picked a bunch of apples, we came home with 1025 lbs. of FREE Gala Apples it's amazing what you can fit in an Excursion! We picked at a commercial orchard that was hit with a small hail storm making the apple un-sellable. We gave a ton of them away to family & friends who are now making applesauce & pie filling, dried apple slices basically everything apple. And these Apples are delicious in fact the applesauce that my friends are making doesn't even need sugar. So you know these babies are yummy!! I can't wait to can mine.
Look at this tree! All of the trees in this orchard are LOADED!
Thanks Dad for all your help we really appreciate it!
Oh and I have to Thank Bishop K for my Post Title.... It's just ever so fitting. :)
Wowzers! That is awesome. Well...not that the orchard cannot sell them but that you guys were able to get some for free and pass them on to friends and family! :)
