Harvest Time

This morning as I was walking up our alley in Langley, I was thinking about "Restoration Harvest", a piece Tim Egan wrote this week on his New York Times blog about the beauty of the Eastern Washington apple harvest. Of course, this was Tim Egan, so there's plenty in there about food safety, irrigation, etc., but mostly it's an ode to apples...

It begins “The apples look like Christmas ornaments, wearing a blush of dew at first light” and ends with the conviction that the harvest satisfies a need that has never been bred out of as people.

So just as I’m contemplating this comforting thought, I come upon my neighbor’s final pear harvest and his wheelbarrow full of pumpkins and squashes. So beautiful on a sunny October morning – harvest visuals courtesy of Linda Morris and Dan Babbit’s fruitful garden.

I have 50 year old apple trees with a great deal of moss on the trunks and branches. Should I remove the moss?
