This is what happens when you’re loaded with wild apples that ripen exactly when the garden is in peak harvest.

We lose quite a number of wild apples to the ground every year, but this is a new record. Earlier-than-usual apple ripening, colliding with an overwhelming abundance of garden vegetables and fruits, left no time for our traditional cider pressing. So, fulfilling God’s perfect apple recycling plan, the deer and the bear and the bugs, and most important, the soil microbes, will have them all.
