Apple Production - Medina, TX
Apples are not supposed to be this red in Texas and that's been one of the problems we've been having. People are saying, Well, you know these Texas apples that we're growing are not as red as those you get out of Washington or somewhere like that. Well, that's because they have cooler nights. We don't have cooler nights, but what we do have are some of the best tasting apples you will ever put in your mouth, because we harvest them fresh and we're making apple products out of the fresh apples like apple cider and some of these type of things.
The apple industry has had problems, obviously; we have cotton root rot, a fungus disease that kills some of the trees. We've had this color problem and we basically had a production problem. But all of that all seems to be going by the way side because a lot of people are growing apples and, as you can see, there are large, large acres of them being planted. You are looking at one of the largest apple plots or acreages in the United States, planted in Kerrville, Texas. And of course we have apple tees that have been established several years in places like Bandera and Medina, and all around. So apple production is coming into it's own. Now all of this is coming to a forefront this Saturday in Medina, Texas, in Medina City, Texas, at the third annual Texas International Apple Festival. So if you actually want to see some products and some of the local produce that is being produced in the apple industry, plan to come up and join us at the Apple Festival.
This is Jerry Parsons, Vegetable Specialist for the Texas Agricultural Extension Service, the Weekend Gardener.

Texas Hill Country Peaches: Visit Fredericksburg TX
Hi, I'm Daryl Whitworth, a fifth-generation native of the Texas Hill Country and I am here to tell you about one of my favorite summer treats -- fresh Fredericksburg peaches.
Whether you call them Fredericksburg or Stonewall peaches, there is nothing like biting into a sweet and juicy peach picked fresh from one of our local orchards.
And we have lots of orchards here in Gillespie County. In fact, Gillespie County is the largest peach-producing county in Texas and accounts for about 40 percent of the state's annual commercial peach production.
Our normal peach season runs from mid-May until August, but one of the best times to come get peaches is the third weekend in June. This is when Stonewall celebrates all things peach with the Peach Jamboree. Plan to come out and enjoy peach cobblers, peach pies, homemade peach ice cream and of course, good fresh peaches at this two-day festival.
There are many different varieties of peaches but just three main types: cling, semi-freestone and freestone. These types refer to how the meat of the peach behaves with the pit. Clings have to be cut off the seed while freestones will pull directly off of the seed. Semi-freestones are a combination of the other two types and may come off the seed when fully ripe.
There are numerous peach stands throughout our county where you can buy fresh peaches directly from the grower along with other fresh fruits and vegetables. We even have an orchard where you can go and pick your own fresh from the trees.
For more information on finding some of our tasty peaches and to plan your trip to come get them, go to So come to the Texas Hill Country and get some of our great summer peaches.

We have about 700 feet of the Hondo Creek running through the property in the back. The water is clear until it rains then it gets like you see in this video. Most of the time you can watch the bass swimming around.
SOLD MLS# 1091240 9 acre Dishaw Lake and 320 acres
A private 9 acre lake, trout stream, good road access, and adjacent State lands make this a special opportunity. Dishaw Lake could be your own. The acreage is a scenic mix of rolling aspen regeneration that has many great distant views. The lake is tucked down among the hills and hidden by old growth cedars and hemlocks. The Michigan River, which is a spring creek trout stream, flows through the Northern portion of the acreage. The deer hunting in the area is above average. There are several pasture fields within 1 mile south of this property that were loaded with deer and the grouse hunting here is second to none as well. Numerous inland lakes are within a few miles for fishing and summer fun. This parcel has a good internal road system in place and is just a few miles from highway M-95 with paved roads leading most of the way to it. With some vision and sweat, you could make fields/plots for wildlife, build a lodge and have your own private hunting and fishing retreat. Additional acreage could be added to this as well.

I took the ol' Phantom 2 out for a little night flight over the water tower right in town off of the main street. It was great to have this perspective after 27 years of life here! Beautiful little Bandera, TX :)

Lost Maples Winery – Vanderpool, Texas
You’re in for a real treat when you come to visit this place both in scenery and wines. Bandera County is definitely one of the best places along the southern part of the Hill Country to swim and camp. Now, you have a great winery to add to your get-a-way adventures. Owners Tom and Glenda Slaughter starting growing grapes on the family land back in 2005/2006. Their Polvadeau Vineyards stakes its claim as the first commercial vineyard in Bandera County. Glenda’s family has been here for 175+ years and she is staying true to loving and tending the land. Their 12 acre estate currently has about 2000 vines of Black Spanish grapes planted. One look at the vines and you don’t need to be an expert to tell that they take good care of their plants. That care and love for the land is also reflected in the wine that they make. All wines are made at their estate facility. They opened back in January 2015. Currently, there are five wines to try out. The 2013 Polvadeau Vin Blanc is a Sauvignon Blanc based wine which is quite crisp with bold citrus flavors. The 2013 Polvadeau Vin Symphonique is made with the symphony grape. Sourced from California, this hybrid grape is highly aromatic. It has a sweet sense at first, but then quickly dissipates and leaves a refreshing feel on the palate. The 2013 Lenoir (Polvadeau Vin Rouge) was oaked for two years. It is quite nice with good flavors and smooth finish. Who knew a Lenoir could have this kind of quality taste! The 2014 Polvadeau L’Inspiration is a blend of 80% Lenoir and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, which has a surprising Pinot Noir like taste. Lastly, the 2014 Polvadeau du Dieu is their Lenoir dessert wine. Fortified with cognac, this fortified wine at 18% alcohol is sure to be a nice pairing for your favorite dark chocolate. We also got to taste their 60/40 Petite Sirah/Lenoir blend (Polvadeu Vin Rouge XL) which is expected to be released shortly. The Slaughters have really hit the mark on this last wine and it's sure to be a top selling Lenoir blend . If you want to taste what quality Lenoir wine is, then do come here. Plus, there’s nothing like checking out a brand new facility! As it turns out, Tom was also a musician with Mickey Gilley back in the days. Gilley’s will be re-opening again and will be featuring Lost Maples bottled wines. What a way to come back with a Texas twist! Tom and Glenda are really nice people and will take great care of you when you stop in to visit. They are very friendly and warm hosts with some fun tales to tell we're certain! Feel free to take your time and enjoy the fantastic surrounding scenery as it is a delightful drive on some of the most beautiful roads in Texas. They are also conveniently located very close to the entrance of the Lost Maples park, so you might want to plan an extended outing to visit both as you enjoy getting lost in this little piece of mountainous paradise. Have fun and enjoy!
