Here is the unofficial Rifftides apple crop forecast for 2011. My friend Vigorelli Bianchi and I gathered evidence on an early morning cycling expedition. You see Vig resting while I photographed.
The forecast is for abundant fruit. This fall, there will be plenty of good red Washington apples to go with your scrapple.
