So I look forward to my special apple tree each year in Cherry Rock park. I noticed early in the summer the tree had a gob of apples growing. Most of the time I can get a 5 gallon pail and that’s about it, this year probably 3x that. So last week I noticed they were about ready to pick, and it was packed. I went home to get my trusty apple picker (thank you cameraman Bruce!) and picked a bag full. I sat them in the window of my dining room to ripen more and a couple of days later I started to cut them up to freeze. The first one was crisp and white but smelled weird. The second the same. The third one that was bigger, smelled like complete sewage. I threw all the apples out and realized that Cherry Rock park as all the parks along the river were under water during the flood and the tree sucked up all that sewage!
Disgusting!
- Don’t eat any fruit this year from fruit trees in parks along the river.
- The city needs to do a full environmental cleanup of all the parks along the river!
After the flood I did a ride thru the parks along the bike trail. It was nasty. I am wondering what kind of environmental mediation the city did?
