Comment: Abundance of fruit and nuts can be burden Harvest from heirloom fruit trees necessitates frenzied production in a great Gradyville apple butter factory; still friends had to be called in to glean the bounty. About: Epicurean Kentuckian Peaches close to home ColumbiaMagazine.com While I agree with you in theory (and as the granddaughter and niece of landscape architects, have lived that way), the fact is, all that fruit etc. has to be dealt with or wasted. I have just spent the last three days making apple butter from my 6 heirloom apple trees. They were so loaded with apples that the branches were on the ground. The taste is phenomenal. Not everyone is up to it. My solution for the abundant harvest was to call friends and tell them to help themselves, thereby spreading and sharing the bounty, and cutting down on my guilt for wasting any of the wonderful apples. s/Mary Keltner The Moral of Woodson Nell's Turnips ought to be remembered om Gradyville, of all places. Remember how neighbors used to hide when he shared so generously from his turnip patch? When there were enough turnips his patches for little boys to pull them and used them for projectiles? When they laughed at Woodson for sneaking up on porches and leaving great quantities for neighbors, whether they wanted them or not? Now, in these days of near turnip famine, in these days of paying war prices for six pelfy turnips in a cello pack, everyone remembers just how great they had it when Woodson Nell gave them turnips, regardless. Same with your apples. I know plenty of folks who'll appreciate some Mary's apple butter, believe you me! This story was posted on 2008-08-13 11:38:33
