This was so cute, I had to share it!
One of our friends who took us up on the free apple offer (previous post) brought her “bored” young son out, and golly did he make a find! Not only did he discover a black swallowtail butterfly and a tasty apple or two, or three… but also a long-lost golf ball that Will Manda lost 40 years ago! He was pretty happy with all the discovery!
The orchard used to be Will’s practice field!
Great idea, Mom!

Well, I’m sure that all our orchard friends out there have had disappointments on top of disappointments before… and through a failure to communicate, our yield of decorative pumpkins is what you see in the black crate. Totally. There are still several on the leafless arbor (as mentioned in our last post), and I’ll leave them there if any of you want to stop by and take a scary Halloween picture!
Then, in walking through the orchard I don’t see enough (any) apples that I would be proud of. Consequently, we will NOT OPEN THE ORCHARD THIS YEAR for any sales. Any of you that are bored or desperate for something resembling an apple are free to bring a bag or sack and try, but the picnic table will be “out of service”. Please park on Lexington Rd or our front yard. NOT on Country Club Dr!!
On the positive side: we got some rain, and it’s much cooler today! 😁
I’ll possibly be around should you come by, sharpening my pruners for winter work!
Love to all!

Well; this is difficult…..
Did you ever get all dressed up for a dance date, then discover your dream date only danced a polka? And only to blues music?
This March we had 3 nights of 22* or less, and I was worried. Not only for peaches, pears and apples, but several other bulb plants and early flowering ornamentals we have in the neighborhood. Sometimes one doesn’t know how it will turn out until the fruit sets, even though the flowers are plentiful and pretty!
We even planted 300 hills of miniature pumpkins in the orchard early, with vining types on an arbor next to the windmill for pictures! Great value-added marketing idea, I thought!
There are a few, very few, smaller late flowering apples, but they aren’t suitable for giving to a teacher. Or making other than a little bitty pie.
However, we have an assortment of mini-pumpkins! And the arbor for pictures is still up, with minis hanging, with no leaves left (I started the minis early in our new little greenhouse).
We will be open:
Saturday Sept 12; 10:00-5:00
Sunday Sept 14; 1:00-5:00
NO POLKA MUSIC, as Frank has my accordion in California!
We would love to see old and new friends, so please stop by if even to say “HI”!!!!

It’s what honeybees do!

04/07/2026

Honeybee smorgasbord! All you can eat!!

The variety is “Ginger Gold”, a very early variety. It’s a close relative of Golden Delicious, and ripens early in late July thru August. Keeps for weeks in the fridge!
We’ll plan on a special weekend for these sweet-tart apples then!
Thank you!
Pops!

I didn’t even get these “Contender” peach trees staked before the bees were on the flowers! I won’t let them set any fruit this year, and maybe next year, so the roots and tree structure can get strong. Several new plantings today before the rain!
There’s still plenty of smoking wood for those that think they missed it. Probably through March. Just dont park on Country Club Drive!
We have other exciting (well, to me!) stuff going in this Spring! Stay tuned!

Well, I have good news, good news, not so good news with attached good news!
1. We are adding several new bee hives this spring, to help with pollination and provide honey that we can actually have for sale at the orchard later this summer!
2. We are adding 25 new orchard trees this spring: more apples (Golden Delicious, Jonathon, Macintosh…, peaches, and 3 varieties of pears)!!! It will be a couple more years before they bear fruit, but it’s a start!
3. We will NOT be doing pumpkins at the farm this year. The only way to rid the fields of cockleburrs is to let it lay idle for a year, and use the wonder of chemistry to eradicate the plant population. However, we are planting 8 varieties of some miniature pumpkins at the orchard, so hopefully we can somewhat pacify your urging when you pick apples. We will get an early start on these minis using our new greenhouse, then transplant. We hope this works!
I got a little behind on the pruning getting hives ready, and I do appreciate all those that are picking up prunings for their smokers! More to come!

Some of you cruising Country Club Drive or Lexington Road here in PH might have noticed I’ve started a pretty aggressive pruning project on the apple and peach trees. This will continue probably through March.
Any of you or your friends that use fruit wood for smoking meats or added flavor to a cookout are welcome to come drag off all you want. Bring a saw! Just the stuff I’ve left on the ground, NOT THE STANDING TREES!😁
Parking on Lexington only, not in the orchard and especially NOT ON COUNTRY CLUB DR! You will get a ticket! It is a strictly enforced No Parking Street!
Anything left end of March I’m running through a chipper for mulch.
Also note I’m planting 23 new trees this Spring; apples, peaches, even pears!!
Stay Tuned!

First off, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Pops and Mimi!
Long story, but one of our apple guest pickers this year came by our son’s house today and left this delightful tin of holiday goodies! Grandson Walter greeted the lady, but failed to get her name! Alas, no card attached; so if any of you out there might know of this kind gesture, please private message me or even refer in the comments.
We have told most of you that the orchard is a social event for us, and we celebrate, this week especially, all of you! Thank you all!

To our 2025 Pumpkin friends:
I’m sorry we won’t be opening the pumpkin patch this year. We planted more than 3500 “hills”, plus some watermelon, plus some giant sunflower…. Then came the 5.5” rain the first of August, and Big Creek was out for several days. Then the heat and dry came. The bees did their job pollinating, but the fruit just wouldn’t set in the heat. The one pumpkin out of all this (pictured) I gave to granddaughter Kate Halcomb. I’m sure you grandpas out there understand!
I sprayed w**d killer on the fields last week hoping to knock out the cockleburrs you all have come to appreciate!😕
We look forward to next year though! That’s farming for ya!
Love to all……
Pops
