How neat. I love those pecan trees, so beautiful. All orchards are, but just something kinda magical about about the big old pecan trees. luckybunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17663313808544386765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-87094122795768462012013-04-17T16:45:30.818-06:002013-04-17T16:45:30.818-06:00I worked in Beaufort for years.

It was sad to see them unattended.

Last summer I did not find one! :( I grew up in the apple growing Annapolis Valley of Nova Scotia ~ well part of the time; we moved a lot!

During my youth, I drank more than my share of cider!<br /><br />In the 197s & 1980s, roadside apple stands stood shoulder to shoulder along the secondary roads of western SC, especially in the Long Creek area; however, now most are closed and many of the apple orchards have fallen into disrepair,e.g., trees not pruned, tall grass growing between the trees, etc. It appears that another "industry" has disappeared.<br /><br />Actually, I believe more peaches are harvested in SC than in Georgia. Nationally, GA not SC is "known" for peaches.<br /><br />AnneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816015196790632629.post-22099496433162686142013-04-17T11:08:12.775-06:002013-04-17T11:08:12.775-06:00Thats so funny you would mention the thing about G...Thats so funny you would mention the thing about Georgia. Every summer we go to Beaufort, SC, and then travel to Savannah and spend some time on the beach near there (Tybee Island to be exact). Everytime we would cross the Georgia state line, the only peaches we could ever find were South Carolina peaches. But man, were they good. (This has nothing to do with anything, but my favorite southern delicacy is boiled peanuts!)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850398102722859692noreply@blogger.com
