So the trees have continued to bear apples. They are smaller apples, but we choose not to fertilize our trees or spray with any harmful chemicals. The apples still turn out fine, and undamaged by bugs– the only difference is that they are smaller. We have also continued with the pumpkins and most years the crop is too much for us to carve. This year a giant pumpkin was attempted, and although we harvested it green, it was extremely large and looked like a perfect sideways Frankenstein head.
