eeek for shiny-foreign-starlet-apple look! *g* Yet now that I live in the country I'm *very* cautious with my neighbours' offers: they are kind people and all, but I'd swear they spray their trees with more drugs than learned farmers. This might be born out of envy over their nice harvests of course, but, while they DO use chemicals, have strangely shaped yet edible fruits, and are full of -often teasing- advices, I'm keeping to soapy water and just a little verdigris in spring, and the resulting fruits are usually rotten, LOL
