We had been talking for awhile now about how bad the economy has gotten and how expensive everything has become. Just the fundamentals in life like food and water just keep creeping in price. And if you want fresh fruit or vegetables, well it’s just plain ridiculous!
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to supply some of our own fresh fruit? Oh, and even better if we had enough for preserves and jams! Growing up we always had apple trees, pear trees, black walnut trees, black berries, and dew berries readily available. I took it for granted as a child.
As kids when out playing we would just go pick an apple when we wanted one. I used to like to pick them green before they had ripened. I did suffer the random tummy ache because of eating too many!
