I store apple there, it is insulated but not heated so it remains about the temperature of a fridge or colder from late fall to early spring.<BR/><BR/>Being in an century old home it is easy to find storage places, I could probably store them in the kitchen cupboards in the middle of winter. If you have a more modern home it can be difficult to find storage place with the best place probably being the fridge. They are best stored from 0c(32f) to 4c(39f) with 90% humidity.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog!Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-68814948608231040712008-10-24T09:02:00.000-04:002008-10-24T09:02:00.000-04:00Hi, your pictures show such a fun day!

I just ordered some that I hope comes quickly so I can get it in the ground.Cindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388267373707402090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-57476342319036319932008-10-24T08:19:00.000-04:002008-10-24T08:19:00.000-04:00It was a nice day....love the large apples you get...It was a nice day....love the large apples you get picking them ourselves..Great photos... you got ... :)Jannetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11296438259458199620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-50397783729470996662008-10-23T23:17:00.000-04:002008-10-23T23:17:00.000-04:00EG - Yeah the bee's kind of freak you out at first...EG - Yeah the bee's kind of freak you out at first and with all the allergy problems you would think it would be a bit of a liability. Most of the apples will be just eaten and I make apple pies too. I like to make up a few at a time, freeze them unbaked and then bake them as needed.<BR/><BR/>tina - You guessed correct, it is a Boston Ivy. It has a little bit of purple in it, it was really pretty. I want to plant Boston Ivy on my shed next year, it is one of those vinyl sheds they sell at HD. The no maintenance idea is nice but it sure doesn't look so nice.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07743102355360873845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359929230952480074.post-58542402524672278432008-10-23T21:28:00.000-04:002008-10-23T21:28:00.000-04:00It looks like such a lovely day.

The bee hive was very interesting! I've never thought about anyone doing that....I'm guessing that you make apple sauce, apple butter with all of those apples? Mabye even freeze some for apple pies? Great pics...thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
