I agree with Ed. Here in Southern Illinois we sometimes go from winter, into monsoon (and flooding), directly into summer. I have to be on the tractor any time it isnt raining in the spring (and sometimes when it is :-( ) Picking apples will wait a couple of days in the fall, but I can't take off even when sick or injured in the spring.
Something else to consider about spring here. We have daffodils for a month before Wisconsin can even see the ground through the snow. My vote is also for late Sept or early October. I can't bring apple cider to the gathering if we have it before we start pressing in mid September. LOL --- Ed Janssen <[email protected]> wrote: > A couple of thoughts when considering dates.
