empty trees, cleaned up and ready

1 The apples are finally picked and either given away or preserved in one way or another. The majority of the apples are at the bottom of the trees so there's little ladder climbing.  It remains to be seen if the bears will find the rotting ones that have been tossed into the utility trailer to be taken away. A dining room on wheels! Hopefully they won't take it for a spin if they get inside it.
2 The two raised beds are cleaned out for winter. It's time for planting garlic. Is it best to plant the garlic in the green house or outside - thoughts?
3 It's mild enough that there's no need for a fire tonight. But the fire is laid and ready for tomorrow because more rain is on the way and all that's needed is a match.

You have your own apple trees! I'm completely envious : )
Every fall I bring back a trunk load from NY, only this year the crop was stunted and the prices very high- so no stocked refrigerator this year.

We have 3 apple and 2 pear and a fig tree along with raspberries, grapes, a blueberry and a thorn-less blackberry....he calls it our mini orchard!
