It's Wise to Pick Up Fallen Apples Before the Storm Starts

Join me in the garden for a peaceful morning of harvesting! In this video, I'm racing against an approaching storm to pick up fallen "lilac" apples from the ground. I'll share why it's important to clear them quickly, how we use these early juicy apples for pancakes and preserves, and some tips on maintaining apple trees throughout the seasons. Stick around for a little reflection on what apples can teach us about people, and see the impressive 7-bucket haul from the last few days!
