On Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend, Dad and I headed down to pick up our bare root apple trees from Trees of Antiquity. We spent the night in Carmel playing double solitaire, then took the "country" route out to pick up the trees from Nature's Touch nursery, which also houses a natural grocery with a lot of local products (food products and things like soap, lotions, etc.) in Templeton. My tree is a White Pearmain, which some date back to 1200 AD in England (first "official" record is 1867). Good for eating, baking, saucing, and more. In a few years, that is. Dad got a Cinnamon Spice, which is supposed to taste like apple pie and first found near Bolinas!
