AUTUMNAL HARVEST...

Fruit, nuts, veggie's and other beauties... typical for Autumn, a taste of the next season.

Maria Anna Smith (1799 Sussex UK) known as "Granny" Smith immigrated to Australia to her community in the Ryde area of Sydney, with her husband and children.

 

One day she tossed some rotten tart green French crabapples away on her property, not expecting any to grow since they were hybrids.

 

That was in 1868.

 

Surprisingly, one of the seeds sprouted, and grew into a young green sapling. The apples on the tree were sweeter than the mother apples had been, but still had a bit of a tart bite to them.

She began selling them and they were known as "Granny" Smith's apples.

Have a wonderful day and thank you for your comments... M, (*_*)
