We're still hanging in, forecast for next 7 days

@saritabee I have a lot of the little wedding favor bags and don't think I've reused any yet but you bring up a good point. I think maybe putting them in a bowl of water, stick it in the microwave and bring it to a boil would do the trick. Less wear and tear then washing them.

Yep, she was one smart lady.

Here's ours for the next few days... Saturday and Sunday looks like we will have a frost but not a killing one, fingers crossed for Ralph's Italian, it's been reported to have a bit of frost resistance, let's hope so.

We still have a Diefenbunker here, I think most of these built across Canada have been destroyed the one here just had all the equipment removed and sealed but not destroyed.

How about size is it a large apple? Another guess, Honeycrisp

@Ridgerunner I can already see seeds forming in a couple of the pods when back lite by the sun so thought if I took the other pods off all the energy would go into helping the seed mature. They wouldn't go to waste we'd eat em':).

A question for you seed savers... Would it help to remove all the pods from a cluster of pods that don't have a chance of making seed before the weather turns. lf all the nourishment goes into the one or two pods that are swelling would it make a difference? Annette

Like looking for a needle in a haystack, kind of reminds me of a Fuji...

"I'm considering draping a plastic sheet over it to try to keep it warmer." It will also keep the rain off, I've got a clear plastic umbrella over some Ralph's Italian pods right now ;). I've used this method several times in the past with good results. Annette
