Right now we have three trees that we can get to and easily pick the apples, then we have countless others on the rest of the property that have been neglected and are hard to get to. I am hoping that we will be able to have some help with our overgrown orchard from Purdue and their Horticulture Department. I was thinking that this would be a good teaching and learning experience that would also help us out. I thought that it would be nice for all of our trees to be producing fruit that we could easily pick and that we could then donate much of it to those in need. The more I think about this idea the more it appeals to me and I want to make it happen.
I think that it would be appropriate to say that we are overwhelmed with apples. We picked 2 bushels last night and barely put a dent in one tree. When Shannon and I went to pick some off of a different tree we realized that these were not even ready. There was not one apple on the ground and the fruit was hard to pull from the tree.
