One of our first trips there we pulled the most perfect carrots out of one of the endless rows. We also picked the choicest Norlund red potatoes and Kennebec russets once a year.<BR/><BR/>Not so sad now. We had some wonderful times.luckyzmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176703683321469118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-31613543218424368162008-10-14T23:07:00.000+01:002008-10-14T23:07:00.000+01:00I understand it was the variety that Johnny Apples...I understand it was the variety that Johnny Appleseed spred across America?

Our apple trees were a Grannie, an Empire, a Gala, a Northern Spy, a Golden Delicious and a Red Delicious. I miss the fruit but not the work associated with them. My favorite tree was our Italian Plum. I had a bench under it where I would sit and watch the progress of the fruit. Then there was the Nectarine that our daughter gave her father on Father's Day one year; the Montmorecy pie, Bing and Van cherries, the Green Gage and the Rosa Plum, but I can't remember the variety of the peach. <BR/><BR/>I am feeling sad now and missing our previous home.luckyzmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04176703683321469118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-91487792571992167822008-10-14T22:02:00.000+01:002008-10-14T22:02:00.000+01:00Bless, indeed.

Expect me to become a very juvenile granny in ten years or so. I have a pair of Al's old jeans, M&S age 13, from when he was a skinny little boy (he's now a skinny man) and I am using those as my guide to when I'm thin enough. I can get them on, do up the waist but not the zip.<BR/><BR/>BTW, Dand, nice pick-up of apples and pears.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-78088195616816029252008-10-14T08:07:00.000+01:002008-10-14T08:07:00.000+01:00I'm not saying Macs being brighter is an improveme...I'm not saying Macs being brighter is an improvement on PCs, Dandelion, and sometimes I turn the brightness down anyway - Ro suggests it's in part a sales ploy. They are all pretty awful Blogger colours, and maybe one day I'll get around to doing something about it.<BR/><BR/>There are hundreds of apple varieties, Martina, but we mostly eat the same few which are grown commercially. I'll get around to listing them if I am not too busy in the shop this morning.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-32900331861007212222008-10-14T07:13:00.000+01:002008-10-14T07:13:00.000+01:00You'll be wearing the grandchildren's clothes soon...You'll be wearing the grandchildren's clothes soon.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403853324345062446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-71231996993433285982008-10-14T00:52:00.000+01:002008-10-14T00:52:00.000+01:0019 varieties of apples?

But it's nothing to do with it being a Mac, it's simply that the available options that blogger gives you, happen to be rather bright. Even for we poor slum-dwelling pc users.<BR/><BR/>May I suggest you google "hex colours", and pick your own?
