October MTRC Meeting

[lori13]

Personally, it isn't that I don't want to come, usually I just can't. I live an 1 hour away from Nashville, have kids and a working farm. Probably too many irons in the fire. I would be willing to donate frags for the frag swap/raffle stuff, if anyone wants me to.

You must be Brandon it happens all the time it speeds up the decay process because of the gas that is given off.

Lori you have participated quite a bit for someone living so far away.

Am I the only one who has never actually seen this?

And Justin, this isn't directed at you... I'm just curious. I have never had one bad apple in our fruit basket ruin the rest. Has anyone else?

Brandon

Fo real fruit; bscteria or fugi on one apple will infect the other in a batch. The fruit gives off a has that promotes ripening which I the rotten fruit is not removed will lead to over ripening which is rotten. So yes rotten fruit does ripen others at an accelerated rate with leads to rotten fruit.

I see. Who knew fruits had hormones?

I wonder if apples hit menopause...
