early october garden report
we've got a bunch of jars of dried apples, a couple gallons of hard cider brewing, some pie filling and apple butter made, but there are still more apples on the tree than i have the faintest idea what to do with. i guess i'll pick a bunch and hope it's not cold enough to damage the rest.
anybody want any apples?

@brennen I assume this is similar to how, having spent my formative years in Florida, I get anxious if I'm not near a coastline and can't get to the water even though I'm never going to act on those fantasies of escaping into the sea.

@brennen there's also just something so fucking satisfying of having a storm come in and, yeah, last minute checks are good, but then just sitting inside listening to all go down and feel... calm and assured that you are safe and so are your belongings.
It's a privilege but it feels so good.

a useful answer re: how cold apples can get before they take damage:

lines up with what i've been told in the past, but nice to have some confirmation. i should look at extension reference stuff more often.
