So far we have picked three types of apples, started with Fuji then Jazz and last Braeburn.
The Braeburn have been the best to pick , so another 3 bins today.
We managed to do a bin every 2 hours so starting a 8am we are home by 2:30pm.
Order of pictures are Jazz, Braeburn and Fuji

What are Jazz apples? I have never heard of them!
They are a cross with royal gala and goldern delicious, I think and new variety here in NZ
Hopefully they used a variant better than the Red Delicious that we were getting in the States. The grower's focus on getting a really Red apple lead to a "red delicious" that was really red, but had tough skin and kind of soft fruit.
People started getting turned off to the Red delicious, as a result a lot of apple growers in Washington state, where I was from, started switching to Galas and Braeburns.
I haven't tried any NZ red delicious yet, as I like galas and braeburns more now! I'll have Laurie look out for some Jazz apples and maybe pickup a few.

Hope you find a bit more to talk about than how many apples you picked today. I'm not looking forward to a couple of years of that. ;)
I thought you said this "unemployed" lark was fun. I'm not so sure at the moment.
