Apples

Strawberry plants are normally planted about 18-24 inches apart in the row. Keep the rows about 48" apart. <<<< Usually the 48" between rows is so that can walk between them. If you are planting strawberries in a small raised bed (where you can pick them from above), you needn't waste the row spacing as described here.

Apples evolved from a primitive plant related to the meadowsweet. Serviceberries evolved into hawfruit, which changed to medlars, which became the pearple. From the pearple came the crabapple and the wild pear. The ancestor of the pearple had crossed with a shrub called Indians Physic to produce a new fruit with double the chromosomes of its predecessor. This happened at the end of the Cretaceous, when harsh conditions caused accellerated evolution. The apple started out in the southeastern United States, crossed the Bering Strait and spread all over the Northern Hemisphere. The ancient Turks in the Ili Valley of Kazakhstan were the first to breed the domestic apple from the crabapple. They crossed the wild pear from the Caucasus with the crabapple to produce the round Asian pear. And that's really where apples came from! Actually, the pearple had difficulty breeding with its own kind, and was never very numerous. But it bred with ease with related species, giving rise to many strange things. It bred first with the cotoneaster, giving rise to the crabapple. As it crossed Eurasia, it gave birth to the loquat. The last pearples reached the Caucasus, where they all interbred with quinces and became....that's right!....the pear! Hope this helps. Oh, by the way, the mysterious fruit that crossed with Gillenia (Indian's Physic), was the haw-medlar (Crataemespila), itself a hybrid between haws and medlars. The ancient Turks found many of the strange progeny of the pearple (some in Yunnan), and subsumed them into the crabapple, producing the domestic apple. They were truly alchemists of fruit.

"Chinese apples" are Pomegranates! They are NOT oranges.

I thought Chinese Apples referred to oranges. One of the words for referring to oranges in German is Apfelsinne (Chinese apple), and people living in the Caribbean (Dominican Republic especially) call oranges "Chinitas" (literally little Chinese ones).

The main food in Connecticut is varied and entails different foods. Some of the popular food items include baked beans, pies, bread, pork and roasted meat among others.

It's always difficult to pose as something one is not.

Yes. Their blossom times will overlap and both produce plenty of good pollen. However, neither need pollination in order to bear fruit; the fruit will just end up seedless.

Pears, like apples, start in Spring, grow during Summer, and are ready to pick in the very first part of Autumn.

So the answer is, Spring, Summer, and Fall (Autumn).

Citric Acid is not readily found in grocery stores anymore. You will need to contact specialty food stores or bakeries. You can also find food grade citric acid online at www.FennerChemical.com in the catalog sold in small or large quantities. Try your local health food store - I found it there and I live in a regional country town.

The best apple depends on the specific recipe. For cakes that should have distinct, slightly crisp chunks of apple, the Granny Smith apple is best. For cakes in which the apple is mostly absorbed, providing moistness and flavor rather than distinct chunks of apple, a McIntosh or Jonathan would be fine to use.

You might not have good results if you grow a pear tree from a seed. Many pears are grafted. They will take hardy, wild rootstock and graft a fairly weak branch to it. The pear will, then be fertilized by who-knows-what other pear and the seeds may produce a tree that bears poor quality fruit or the tree may be weak. If you want a good, strong, fruit bearing tree you get the best results by getting a young tree from a nursery. If all you want to do is get the seeds to grow, you can plant them in a well-drained pot with potting soil. You should have sprouts in a couple weeks.

An apple is usually, hard and crunchy. When it gets old, the skin looks abit wrinkled and the apple becomes soft or somewhat spongy.

First I'd check the expiration date, if it's before that I wouldn't worry to much about it. If you can't find it or it is after the date just look at the apple sauce. If it's the normal color, it's fine. But, if it has any forms of green or old color brown on the apple sauce or around it don't eat it. The green and brown is mold and won't agree with your stomach later. Also the smell of it can be a sign. As with most foods, if it doesn't smell normal don't be eating it.

Not only will they, just try to keep them from going up the tree to get all they want.

204 apples contains 204 percent of the daily recommended value of Vitamin C. 100g of broccoli contains 5 percent of the daily recommended value of Vitamin C.

apples dipped in honey tastes good but it depends on the honey and the apple

According to an old Ball Canning Guide, a peck of pears equals between 12 to 14 pears. Hope this helps.

an apple,

orange has protection.

First, you need to have been growing an apple tree starting the year before, or early in the year in spring. When it is fully grown, the harvesting season is in fall. You'll know when it is the seaon before you can harvest if your tree is fully grown and green. Also, little flowers appear on the tree. When it is fall, you'll see that a small green apple started to grow on the left side of the tree. Then sooner or later you'll find a large red apple on your tree. go up to it and click "A" and then you'll be able to pick up the apple and place it in your rucksack with "Y". Hope I wasn't too confusing!

It is my experience that any apple will rot faster if it's been frozen. Sometimes apples are kept too close to freezing in transit and do accidentally freeze as do other fruits..even bananas, plums and peaches are frequently found in only a surface ripened condition due to this. This is the same as "on tree" freezer which renders the fruit useless.

The trick is in picking the apple...Pick apples that are bright colored and have as few blemishes as possible..Any soft spots at all should be avoided..Immediately refrigerate at a temp approx 36 degrees F for longer keeping...

If allowed test the fruit before purchase...cut in half and observe...If there is an uneven ripening or premature over rippening 'under an apparently evenly ripe exterior my advice is to pass and look further...Outdoor markets direct from the farms and never frozen are best...Take home and store at room temp in brown grocery bags for even rippening if you purchase green fruit.

An additional note is that fruits are always in better quality in season..Try buying canned off season if there is a shortage of good quality available.....Hope this helps

Yes, but its not A fruit . Its two fruits if its a PEAR

You can plant them in spring. Chill for about 6 weeks in the fridge beforehand. Remember that you will need to plant a lot of them as seed-grown apples are variable in their quality.

the lesson to it was that even though your far from your country , it still not enough reason to forget where you came from.. You should always thought that Country where you leave is the the country where you should Live.
