I knock on the door and ask if I can buy some of their apples. They always say, "Oh, those old things! Please just take them." Since she's not often in residence, I pin "some" money to her door with a note saying you purchased "some" of her peaches. And yes, offer her some of the bottled ones.Handy Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03132709938216842143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-1649308167143165632012-09-10T08:39:47.271+01:002012-09-10T08:39:47.271+01:00Rather belatedly, I'm with the pick them and g...Rather belatedly, I'm with the pick them and give her some of whatever you do with them crowd...and maybe ask her if next year it's okay to do the same.

They look absolutely delicious!<br /><br />I've had the same dilemma for years now about a crabapple tree located in a church parking lot near my house. It is loaded with fruit each August and no one seems to appreciate it but the birds. I would love to make crabapple jelly....but the idea of stealing from a church just seems wrong! Although I'm pretty sure no one ever thinks of picking the crabapples. Lots of churches/businesses have crabapple trees for spring flowers only.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12512800812290518552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-13544943439455124452012-09-09T18:00:15.842+01:002012-09-09T18:00:15.842+01:00You are totally correct to pick the Peaches eat so...You are totally correct to pick the Peaches eat some, give others away, bottle the remainder and give the good woman a fair share.
