This photo shows the average size of my Haralred Apples this year.
I still have some worm damage but not on all the apples. They are starting to ripen now. Just a month and a half or so till I taste
them and bake with them. There are maybe 40 to 50 apples on the tree. When was the last time you baked something with homegrown apples?
What was it?

I can and will cut out the bad area damaged by the worms. They will still be good for baking just not for eating from the tree is all.

A special and distinctive posting!Your post is more like a diary of plant growth,this made me feel myself not in a web earner site
Then talking about myself,In my hometown,that is a place where is full of my memories about my childhood.I still can remember there's a loquat tree on the balcony which is the top floor,second floor.Every years when meeting their ripen day,all my family will take them of from the tree and eat it our,the taste is very fruity and sweet
I only can remember these,because I was too young to back them.And then our house was razed by taking over the land for use through government and we moved to other places

I made spple pie and applesauce from homegrown apples last year when my mom was here visiting. She says the store apples are very poor imitations of homegrown ones and she's right! I might bake something this year if I have the time.

Never? We did have some apples at our last house, they were green ones, a bit "grainy" texture and a bit sour. I liked eating them raw myself. We really only ever had one good crop though. One year we got visited by raccoons and they got every single one of them!

We've got an apple tree out there that is full of apples also, the branches are getting weighed down, so far there aren't too many bad ones, there is some worm damage. I'm not sure what kind of apples they are, my husband says they're granny smith, but they turn a light red color, I think they're the baking kind but I can't think of the name right now. I can't remember the last time I baked something with the apples, the past few years they haven't been doing good, but this year may be different, I think I baked a apple pie that time, guess that's what I will do with these apples if they do good.
