   Honey Crisp has been designated as Minnesota's official apple during 
this past legislative session.  I sell apples at a farmers' market and my 
two Honey Crisp trees gave me only a peck of fruit.  I was convinced that 
many folks would be disappointed but I didn't even get one request for Honey 
Crisp.  Despite the legislatative enactment, perhaps Honey Crisp will be 
like everything else here in Minnesota.  Minnesotans don't catch on to fads 
until the rest of the country has been doing it for up to twenty years. 
Mesclun and edible flowers are first beginning to be accepted here as 
something edible so perhaps it'll be some time before my Honey Crisp apples 
sell.
