Today the temp was mid 90s, so I wasn't up to a lot of garden work.
The Gravenstein Apple tree may have as many apples remaining as I have harvested. I cleaned up some fallen apples (chickens eat them, whereas if left on the ground, yellow jackets thrive on them). I picked all I can handle at the moment. These are just from today.
Also, the sauce tomatoes. There is probably another crop as big, ripening in about a week. Then they will be done.
I picked Orcas Pears, most of that tree's crop. All I need is a batch or two, to can.
They are still pretty firm, but starting to fall from the tree. It's a challenge getting them when they are ripe enough to can, without being so ripe they become mushy.
