Big Apple

Let's start with the bad news: A local apple farmer told us that his harvest this year would be a tenth of normal due to the early spring heatwave, in the middle of which, one night of frost killed 90% of the shoots . . .

Now the better news: There aren't many apples this year, but the ones that made it are giants, like these we spotted in an orchard on our drive to Montreal today . .

Now the worse news: Hmm, but if the apples are this size, just imagine how big the worms and snails and other creepy crawlies must be . . .
