I'm running
late here too. The fall has been pretty nice but most of the summer was
wet and cool. I tried a Honey Crisp yesterday and they need a little more
time. Haven't tried a Sweet 16 so far. Honeygold are all looking pretty
green with very little yellow. Last year, I was able to let them hang
until the end of October and they were really good. I hope we get through
October without getting to the lower 20s again this year. The most
obvious difference at my place is that the Red Barons are not red this
year. They have reached a normal size and a few have fallen to the ground
already but they almost completely lack red. They are getting edible now
so I guess we will eat green Barons this year.
