Tangerine Tree Update

If you have been keeping up with my blog for a while, you know that I have some tangerine trees that I've been growing in my apartment. This is the biggest tree that I have currently have. They sprouted in late May and have slowly been growing. With freezing temperatures and little sunlight, I have to keep them inside with an artificial grow light and heating pad. I hope to one day be able to plant them in the ground so they bear fruit. I have 7 tangerine trees and 6 lemon trees. I recently planted ~40 apple seeds, but none have sprouted yet.

Fruit

I've been keeping my bananas next to my pumpkin that I got a few weeks back while picking apples. I reached down this morning to grab a banana for my breakfast and thought this would make a good picture. Enjoy!

Apple Picking

This past weekend I went apple picking at Bowman Orchards seeing as how it was late in the season and I still hadn't been this year. It wasn't a weekend too soon either since they are calling for the first snow showers sometime Wednesday morning. No accumulation of the ground, but just some falling flakes. It was a beautiful day as well without a cloud in the sky.

While I was there I accumulated ~12 pounds of apples ranging from Cortland, Empire, Fuji, McIntosh, Mutsu, and probably a few more I can't remember off the top of my head. Pile on the Apple Cider Doughnuts, fresh Peanut Butter Chocolate Fudge, fresh Raspberries, and Pumpkins and the trip was well worth the effort.

If you have not been picking this year, you may still have a shot left in the next week or two. Time is running out though because the temperature is starting to drop.
