teetering on the top of the orchard ladder as
the last rays of twilight silhouette branches of the yellow delicious
apple tree. Picking apples by feel from the spindly, gnarly, gnobby
branches. Yes, autumn is upon us.
We'll be out of sweet corn for about a
week, until the weekend or the 8th or so at the latest. The last field
is taking its time getting ripe as the days shorten and the nights cool.
To fill in the gap we'll have plenty of large, ripe, red tomatoes some
beautiful red and yellow delicious apples, sweet green grapes with a
golden autumn blush and finally our usual unusual assortment of culinary
and beneficial herbs.
