Nope, no russets at the market today AT ALL! (Strange for October.)

Other good stuff tho.

I _think_ this is the strangely watery Fallawater apple, though I've seen them more blushed

Hey boys and girls, are these Calvilles underripe? Can I cook with them?

I told the farmer I thought they looked a bit too green, was I wrong?
Green apples, very ribbed, in a wooden crate. A label identifies them as Calville Blanc.

Yes
For instance: the first bite from this thing is giving haunted scarecrow vibes. It has this faintly burlap-sacky cornfield crow-fear taste — it is autumnal in a deeper, more eldritch way than simply “oh dry leaves and cider spice.”

Hubbardston Nonesuch, I presume!

Look closely at the town seal of Hubbardston (Massachusetts) #apples
The seal of the Town of Hubbardston, showing the public library ringed by an ornamental wreath. Two tiny apples flank the wreath, with the word "Hubbardston" around the leftmost and the word "Nonesuch" around the rightmost.

They have triangular pips that are rather large for a smallish apple

Some apples are naturally skinny. Also, apples can be extra thin if some or all of the seeds do not develop.

One of the former:

I still have a few heritage apples in my fridge from the fall.

Except for the Arkansas Blacks and the GoldRush, it is really too late for these.

But they are still good cut up into my oatmeal or otherwise for cooking.

Otherwise it's supermarket stuff now.
Five apples, all different colors and shapes.

Posts about actual apples use mostly concern cooking (including smoothies etc.). A small number are about eating an apple. That is kind of what I am looking for, but it is all good. 3/7

My bluesky beat is #apples. I blog about them. Here's what I'm seeing this time of year here on bluesky.

Spoiler alert: Not a lot of actual apple skeets. Hopefully different in season! 1/7

. @russparsons.bsky.social 's 2007 LA Times story about heritage #apples is evergreen (link in 🧵).
Text clip: “The Fuji is a very good beginner’s apple,” says Mike Cirone of See Canyon. “But the Spitzenberg is for more sophisticated palates. And then there are apples like the Arkansas Black that will only appeal to certain people.

I guess you've never seen this before
A political campaign flyer with a headline that reads "Guy Glodis Will Reign In Wasteful Political Spending," with the word "Reign" misspelled as the word that means "to rule or preside" (like a king's reign).

An impressive stone monument to the Baldwin apple stands today in Wilmington, Massachusetts, near the site of the original tree.

Have you gotten your winter keeper #apples yet?

Today is last call for many orchards. (*But not all.)

Act now or be at the mercy of your supermarket's produce department this winter.

Good #apples are delicious, but it's their stories that really capture my imagination.
