We then had a very cold April and a bad freeze and they are now saying that 90% of the apple and cherry crop is ruined! This is horrible news for our state and I'm sure it will impact the availability of fruit in the fall.Bevhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12566271819831940719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13791174.post-5581645240833168812012-05-02T10:45:13.841-04:002012-05-02T10:45:13.841-04:00I have a strawberry bed that has been going for ab...I have a strawberry bed that has been going for about 5 years now. It always provides us with great berries for jam, cobblers, dried snacks, and fresh eating. We have an enormous pear tree that drops bushels and bushels of pears that I use for canning and to give away. We have several apple trees and while they aren't the prettiest of fruits, they do can well for slices or apple butter. I tried making apple jelly one time but there was so much natural pectin in the apples, that it made a completely hard mass that I never was able to get out of the jar.hillbillygalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13280968167380198357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13791174.post-1840166397214311372012-05-01T17:20:11.086-04:002012-05-01T17:20:11.086-04:00I just love fruit too.

Sadly, we are too far north for quite a lot of fruit to truly thrive, but you can definitely get your fill of blueberries and raspberries in these part. I really want to plant an apple tree and a cherry trees, but I haven't figured out a good place to plant them on our property. Nothing beats homegrown fruit!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05212497767953671307noreply@blogger.com
