Frost and freezing temperatures

It sure is getting nippy out, I just hate to see winter come. I know we had a danger of frost but I don't know if we got any. good luck with all the peeling, chopping etc. Do they freeze real good.

Hi, what season are you in right now? You seem to have good apples harvested. It maybe good to sell them. That could be an additional income to you.

I had no idea you had that many apples!

hi Grandpa Bob from sunny warm dry Ca where its hard to tell what season it is, and where rain is something we hear about but seldom see.I do dread this October as last'year we had the worst wild fire season ever and they predict this year will be even worse as we havent had any rain for a whole year. oh those Honeycrisp apples look so oo o o good.'yum yum. happy mylotting from hatley

It was very close to freezing two nights ago here, and just 25 miles north of me, it did freeze. Yesterday, it was pretty chilly out, today, the temperature is 70 degrees, but the wind is awful. Tomorrow, it is supposed to be only 40 degrees with up to 40 mile per hour winds. It isn't a wonder why there are so many people getting sick right now with the weather as goofy as it is.

first congrats on all your apples..that is great, alot of work but still great!! our weather here is colder, and tomorrow we will be hit by the frost in the morning... this morning it was 50, tomorrow they are saying 38.... since I drive my son to school I will be looking for our winter jackets tonight since we stand outside the door and wait for the bell. good luck with your apples and stay in longer in the mornings...its getting colder out there for us!! Happy mylotting.

So beautiful your apples look, have you ever considered selling those, as so many apples are too many for a complete family. But any way with this I remembered an apple a day keeps doctor away.

Now I heard - probably wrong because you know how it is living in a place like TEXAS where we seldom get freezing temps before November and have had 90's in February - that you had to have a freeze to ripen apples, I guess that's wrong too

Don't you have a cold cellar? (Sometimes called a root cellar.) Apples will keep through the winter in a dark, cool environment. You don't need to process them all now.

wow-that's a lot of apples!sounds like pie time;) it's actually gorgeous here today.was cold this morning,but right now it's very nice.i'm glad they got the forecast wrong,it was supposed to be overcast all day.

Right now it is 83 degrees, partly cloudy and very humid but no rain. It is miserable outside because of the humidity. It does sound like you have a lot of work ahead of you with the apples but will be so worth it all. Have fun. :)

autumn or what you would probably call,fall, is on its way. the leaves are falling and its darker in the evening, but we are still getting warm days, i have picked all my growing veg, like peas ,tomatoes , berry fruits , green peppers, etc.,but the summer annuals are still going strong, amazingly. i already have daffodil and tulip bulbs ready to go in, but until the annuals start dying back, i am reluctant to pull them up !!

Here in southwestern Ohio we have a frost warning through tomorrow (Thursday) morning. I tried and tried to not use the furnace but the dogs were shivering even though the thermostat said 67. It seems to me that it never got this cold this early before. I wonder when we'll have the first snow? Well, you certainly got your exercise, didn't you? Just think of all those yummy apple dishes you'll have this winter! They're great when you put them with kielbasa in a crock pot with onions and some applesauce, adding some bell pepper for the last 30 minutes--serve over rice and enjoy!

Hi GrandPaBob, your apples are beautiful. You do have a lot of work ahead of you but it is good prosperous work. Work from your successful gardening this year and from the production of your fruit trees. The weather here is nice. It is good sleeping weather. We are getting up in the 70's today. That is about 79, I saw on the weather channel. Nights and mornings are cool. I am going out tonight to bible study and I am going to dress accordingly to the coolness that I am expecting. I told my sister I think she should dress that way too. But I am not complaining I am loving it. Have a blessed day GrandPaBob.

My goodness Bob, that is a lot of apples as you say. What sort of things do you use the apples for? Sauce? Cake fillings etc? Anything else?

Delicious looking apples. It is a lot of work to pick apples, and then prepare them, and process them, but you have to admit, it is well worth the effort. I love homemade things. We canned so many things this year, and the shelves still have many jars of food from last year.

oh those apples look great right now here in south carolina it is 60 degrees sweater weather so are going make fried apples with some of those nice apples

The weather here is sunny and temperature is normal but this afternoon was in the eighties and windy for a while. Tomorrow though it is not going to get out of the 50's all day. What a big differents a day makes.

Wow, what a great harvest! It must be a lot of work but I think its great to be able to eat what you grow yourself and to be in touch with seasonal produce, so much of that awareness has been lost in pre packaged processed food now. Here in Massachusetts it is still quite warm, but we have had a couple of chillier, rainy days, so its on its way!

Holy Moly! I pray for cooler weather. It's still in the 70's here. I LOVE Honeycrisp. They are the totally best apples ever. It sounds like you are pretty busy, what do you do with all those apples?
