Thank you Stephen for the kind words. Like all gardeners, I experiment and
gather wisdom from others in growing heirloom edibles, fruit and flowers. I
was glad to share with others. You can also read my weekly gardening blog
at The Old Farmer's Almanac's website.

Again, thanks for the positive feedback. I've learned so much from you
esteemed fruit growers.

Doreen, it was a pleasure to open up the 2013 Old Farmer's Almanac and read
your article! That was quite a collection of tips - more than I've gleaned
from most gardening books. Very fun and useful.

Subject: Re: [nafex] how to tell if apples are ripe?
Bagging apples in the spring when I thin takes care of critter problems for
me. And, my apples are totally organic! I live out in the country where
the squirrel, coon, possum, rabbit, wild turkey, fox and deer population is
huge. Bagging is the only way I get fruit from my eight trees.
