RE: My 2018 Homesteading Challenge Submission
You have a homestead that I can only dream of. God has truly blessed you with this little piece of heaven. Thanks so much for sharing, love these kinds of posts. Beautiful lush apples.
Thanks. We had a lot of problems with cedar apple rust this. It was yucky! I'll make a post on that in the future. These apple and pear trees were here when we moved in. Don't know much about taking care of them or how to fix the fungal diseases they keep getting. We have to peel them every yr so far because they get covered in black spotted mildew. It washed off but we peel them to be safe. We are grappling with whether they should be cut down and new disease resistant trees put in to replace them. This picture was before they were ripe and got the mildew. The pears are also at risk but have so far been unaffected
