Getting an excellent quality harvest of apples. We are also getting a lot of waste due to rain during harvest time. I don’t spray fungicides prior to harvest and when it rains at the right time rot can be a real problem. The apples this year are very sugary and good! Sure are hard to pick when I have to cull so many. Should have thinned a little better instead of counting on July and August being dry. Been a lot of fungus problems this year in my orchard. You can see by the photo 10-20% are being culled. 20% of the remaining apples are to small for canning and will be made into cider.the rest of the apples will be canned. I will likely can the apples in the cider so I don’t need to sweeten them.
