Time To Trim January 2008
Time to Trim
Driving around Londonderry you would think that the orchard workers have little to do this time of year. No fruit on the trees, no spray work to be done.

The u-pick booths are used for other events like the Warm Homes Bonfire or the Scout Troop Christmas tree burn. The pumpkin fields were “put to sleep” with a cover of annual grass that will be plowed under come spring in Londonderry.
