Apple: Spencer

[redbird]

I bought two of these at the Davis Square Farmers' Market today, and ate one when I got home (when it was still cool from being outside).

This is an average apple: a bit sweet but not very, a bit juicy, some apple flavor but nothing noteworthy, not especially tart. The inside is white and the skin mostly red, and it's a little bigger than a Macoun.

I'll be eating the other but probably not buy more. And then go to the supermarket for more Macouns (we're near the end of the farmers' market season here; I miss the year-round Greenmarket in Inwood).

Thanks as always for your apple reports.

It's true that the outdoor farmers' markets end at Thanksgiving, but there's a great indoor one at the Armory on Highland Ave in Somerville, Saturdays in the winter. I don't remember when it starts, but I think early January. Great veggies, of course, plus mushrooms, meat, eggs, bread, jam, ice cream, candy, fresh-squeezed juice, doughnuts, cheese, mead, wine, beer, prepared foods, and live music. Feels like a special event, every week.

To get there, walk over to Clarendon Hill (15 minute walk) and take the 88 bus.
