We haven't been in a few years, and the apples are just so good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1869045 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 19:13:52 +0000 Raindrop 1869045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@youboots: Nice! One of my co-workers tried to grow on in her backyard, she had ones those that were graphed with 4 different types of apples. After two years of caring for the small tree it finally made apples but it made too many and the branch tore off from the weight! She chalked up to being a bad gardener and not knowing better.</p> <p>@Mrs. Bee: Apple chips! Fun! We normally don't get that many apples ... maybe about 20 or so which we can definitely eat before they get bad. My first year apple picking though we were way over zealous and picked a ton of apples like 60 which we had to give away to friends and family. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868882 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 18:03:06 +0000 Mrs. Bee 1868882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes we've gone the past two years! the kids love it. we'll definitely be going soon. i just wish it weren't so expensive. the kids can fill up a bag of apples so fast!</p> <p>we make apple chips with them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868875 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 17:52:58 +0000 youboots 1868875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have two happy apple trees on our property. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868874 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 17:51:44 +0000 Raindrop 1868874@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: Yes do it!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868872 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 17:51:00 +0000 Raindrop 1868872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. tictactoe: We are a little over an hour away from the farm that does apple picking from us. :( We also wished it was closer but it's worth it. Our farm has fresh pies and I lured DH with that, he loves dutch apple pies and he says they have the best so it's fun treat each year for him. :)</p> <p>@Ginabean3: Yes! I hope you have fun! We love it.</p> <p>@Silva: You make apple sauce too! Hm.. you guys are temping me into trying to make apple sauce. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868871 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 17:48:58 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1868871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I want to so bad!!!!

This post has inspired me to do a search for apple farms and I found one not too far away from us! Thank you! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868856 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 17:25:24 +0000 mrs. tictactoe 1868856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The nearest place to pick apples is pretty far from us, but I've always wanted to go. My husband says he doesn't want to, but I'm hoping I can convince him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868845 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 17:12:55 +0000 Raindrop 1868845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsBrewer: Home made apple sauce! Yay! Strawberry picking actually coincides with apple picking here, we get a ton of strawberries to make toppings for stuff (aka cut strawberries with sugar and let it sit in the fridge).</p> <p>@Andrea: Yup! It's a fun tradition.</p> <p>@loveisstrange: OOooo Nice! We are going to the pumpkin patch next month and they have all that stuff along with a corn maze and a train. We are also excited about that. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868802 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:45:50 +0000 loveisstrange 1868802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we're going Saturday! Our big farm here is doing "apple fest" this weekend with hay rides and a carnival and farm animals, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868800 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:45:08 +0000 Andrea 1868800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we go every year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868785 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:36:28 +0000 MrsBrewer 1868785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we are going in 2 weeks!! :-) I plan to buy a whole bushel, and them can some applesauce! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868755 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:17:39 +0000 meredithNYC 1868755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: They were great, but honestly, all I really need is cider! So good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868754 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:16:52 +0000 Raindrop 1868754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@meredithNYC: Apple cider donuts!! Yum. Our apple picking place doesn't have that :( They only do fresh apple cider, apple pies and apple butter. I'm in Cali and I heard the east coast does apple picking way better. :)</p> <p>@Boheme: Peaches and blackberries!! Yum also. :) We don't pick in the summer because we are wimps and hate being in the sun. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868749 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:13:48 +0000 Boheme 1868749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We will! Our local place hasn't started yet. We went peach and blackberry picking at the same orchard during the summer, and it was HOT. I'm looking forward to more temperate apple picking weather! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868748 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:13:14 +0000 meredithNYC 1868748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went last weekend and it was glorious! Got some Cortlands, Red Gala and Honeycrisp. And LO loved her tractor ride and apple cider donut :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/apple-picking#post-1868745 Thu, 18 Sep 2014 16:11:23 +0000 Raindrop 1868745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone going apple picking this year? </p> <p>I am so behind, the normal place we go already started and they only have a window of 4 weeks that they let you apple pick. </p> <p>For us that mean we have to go either this coming weekend or next weekend.</p> <p>So I called DH at work and said we are going apple picking this weekend!</p> <p>We have gone every year since we have been married. So excited to go this weekend. I'm so glad we didn't miss it! </p>
