Apple Picking 101 W/ Jim Kovaleski!

Back in August, we visited Jim Kovaleski while he was in Maine and one of the highlights of the trip was picking and eating these delicious apples. Jim shows us his harvesting methods and gives a brief history on some of the classic cultivars growing at this old Apple Orchard. Stay tuned for Part 2, where Jim presses the apples into juice, for making cider!

Jim is giving me serious Jonny Appleseed vibes because he looks a lot like the illustrations in a book I read many times as a kid. And I bet his pockets are full of seeds too lol great one as usual, Pete!

[@mrsweettater]

I wanna be Jim Kovaleski when I grow up!!!! oh yea, I am grown up................ but I still want to hang out with this guy!

[@carlwhitehead217]

Jim is THE MAN

[@cpnotill9264]

You know it Carl!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

This is exciting. I did something I said I wouldn’t do: I ordered 2 apple trees and 1 peach tree. They’ll be tough to grow on the Carolina coast, but fresh apples and peaches are tough to beat. I’m just in an apple mood this fall.

[@richarddetriquet9642]

There are a few old southern apples that can do well in Coastal Carolina and Georgia and are little/no spray....not many. Horse apple is one...bullet proof August apple that is great for many purposes.....fresh eating, cider, pies. When picked its tart, after two weeks a mellow sweet flavor. Check out the book, Old Southern Apples by Lee Calhoun. A classic!

[@TheMillennialGardener]

I want very high quality apples. I went with Sundowner, which is the red version of Pink Lady. It is one of the latest apples and bred in Australia for high heat, so it is one of the few that can tolerate temps of the South. The other is Winecrisp, which is low chill, scab immune, highly disease resistant, very late, and heat tolerant. They should give me a chance to grow high quality apples. Old heirlooms are less attractive to me, because I can’t justify growing an apple in such a difficult climate if I can get better stuff in the store. Apples are VERY good this time of year in stores, so for me to go through the effort, they have to be premium varieties.

Century Farm Orchards.

[@rainbowstar6264]

Watching from Brisbane Australia:)

[@jennifferhurlburt642]

Growing up in Ontario we had apple trees and were told to tip the eye (bottom of the apple) to the sky. They come off without any resistance.

[@samtheoutdoor]

Oh holy winter I've missed this channel so much. Good to be back again and starting off with Pate/Jim 🤗

[@gcxred4kat9]

Just met Jim today at his wintertime haunt in New Port Richey, Fl. What a great guy! He let me pick his brain for about an hour and was happy to share his vast knowledge. As always Pete, GREAT production value! Keep em comin!!!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Very cool! Thanks!

[@aron8949]

Nothing more fun than climbing fruit trees!

[@Rebecca.Robbins]

I planted an apple tree this spring that has grafted branches. I SHOULD get four different types of apples off of the same tree! Hopefully in another year or two I will start to get some fruit.

[@HaasBuzzHomestead9909]

That was fun! Those apples were beautiful!

[@thehedgerow]

Look at all of that Goldenrod behind you!!! Excellent medicinal plants!

[@thespiritualgardenhomestea8329]

Extremely educational. Love the work you and Jim are doing. Truly inspiring!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Thank you!!

[@OskariTrueHipHop]

Jim keeping it real in the wood.

[@kimberlyferguson9748]

[@chuckmaxfield7787]

Drone footage is amazing.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Thanks!

[@denisedaigle7006]

I don't eat a lot of apples . but I sure could go for some apple crisp.

[@alisonburgess345]

OMG - what absolutely superb apples! You lucky things...

[@bryangalen6340]

Awesome work!

[@goatgate3815]

Excellent content thank you very much.

[@PegsGarden]

Good morning Pete, I bought Jim's apples over at Tasty Tuesday a couple of weeks ago and they were the best apples I have ever had, they were so good!

[@nonnoziccardy4353]

Love it! I have been apple picking upstate NY near Bear Mountain.

[@farisasmith7109]

Nothing says fall is here like apple picking. Mulled apple cider is the best.

[@toneyjohnson8910]

as all ways thanks for sharing.

[@chongseitmooi2593]

Feelike picking up apple tooooo Hardwork but really very enjoying

[@LP-ec1yp]

Holy crow those apples were looking really good! Hi Pete hi Jim!

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

So good!

[@backwoodsbaby9729]

I cant wait to plant my heritages apple trees! No idea what varieties ill end up with but want a good selection of all types & ripening times. Im also going to espalier them!!!

[@lilspittin313]

Very informative, inspiring and refreshing ^_^

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Glad 😊

[@AlmostOrganicDorset]

My favourite fruit, all my Cider is wild fermented from apples on the ground, we never pick them off the trees.

[@bentimberfalling]

Lets go Jim

[@travelmu]

Incresible

[@LATIFAHMOHDNOR-zy1mq]

Page 337 By budding or grafting onto certain kinds of roots, it is possible to produce trees that never become very large.

[@LATIFAHMOHDNOR-zy1mq]

Dwarf trees, besides being easier to spray, prune, and harvest, usually bear fruit earlier.

[@charlotteking8123]

Finally planting trees in West Pasco and dreaming of the day I'll need one of those bags for all the wonderful fruits. Wondering whether there are some of the fruits of his Maine harvest available here...

[@ramthian]

I love apple s

[@monicacruz4407]

Such a beautiful film, relaxed, unpressured picking in all that luscious greenery. Heaven. Good tip about not washing the apples to ensure the biology goes into the mix, good for your gut micro biome 😎

[@ChefDwight]

Pound dirt 👊🏾

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Pound Dirt!! 👊

[@crochetingaroundnewzealand]

Chickens in an orchard is great cos they eat all the bugs in the ground before they hatch and climb the trees.

[@yuppystick]

Jimmy Apple Seed

[@fezwhy]

Epic!

[@johnnybgoodusa1]

Anybody else check their messenger when they heard the ding? 😅

[@charitysmith5245]

And in the beginning I thought my chickens were protesting their breakfast being 5 min late!

[@terrencegibbs1828]

I want Jim to show me crab apple Tree harvest

[@tienduy6857]

How we go?

[@Greenmadzia]

Did Jim have any ancestors from Poland? His surname sounds like Polish. 🙂 I'm asking because I watching this from Poland 😅

[@qashimalik]

Where is part 2?😂 I m just too impatient.

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

Coming soon!

[@kroegermarkus1170]

Duchess of Oldenburg is a german variety not russian. The town Oldenburg is only a 2 hrs drive from where I live, that is northern Germany ;)

[@kccorliss3922]

Was this an abandoned orchard? Semi abandoned? Doesn’t look maintained like a California orchard…

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

It's an old Apple Orchard that's on a different homeowner's property

[@AnanirmalaAbel]

Pete? Product placement? that is not Jim's style! He would make such an apple picking bag from an old Jeans wouldn't he? 😁

[@4philipp]

You really dragging the Jim content out Pete. I know you are no longer in Maine. Great episode though

[@PeteKanarisGreenDreamsFL]

There was so much worthy content to film
