   This year most of my trees are putting out a sparse crop of apples so to 
save time later on, I'm marking the bloom clusters with colored flagging 
tape.  This will save time  when bagging because I won't need to spend time 
hunting for the sight of tiny green apples amongst all the small green 
leaves.  In the past, bagging took longer with a short crop than with a 
large crop only because so much time was spent looking for sparsely spaced 
apple clusters.
