Southern California is not well known for apple growing
except for some apple farms in Oak Glen, a farming community located in the
foothills of San Bernardino Mountains. It is known as the Apple Country of
Southern California with private ranches, restaurants and apple farms where you
can pick apples from the tree. Julian located in the mountains of San Diego
County is also one of the popular locations for apple picking in Southern
California.
Bought an apple tree from Home Depot a few years ago and is
now full of fruit. The fruit is not as good looking as the ones you can buy
from a grocery store but they are sweet, juicy and really crunchy besides free
of pesticides which make it organic.
Apple picking season is usually done at the start of fall
and we are in the middle of summer but my tree is almost done for the season
and have harvested almost all the fruit. Was able to harvest almost 2 grocery
bags full from that small tree.
May not be the best looking apples compared to the ones you get at the supermarket but they are safe to eat with no pesticides and preservatives.
ReplyDeleteIt may not look as appealing as the grocery apples but the grocery apples look appealing and beautiful because all the pesticides used to make it look good, would rather eat a not so pretty apple but free of pesticides.
DeleteYour apples look yummy, may not be perfectly looking but I bet they are juicy and yummy.
