Between here and Olympia (twelve miles or so), I can point out to you seven to nine apple trees that have the rotting fruit still clinging to their boughs or lying in the grass.

There were so many apples this year that we couldn't deal with them all, so some of our own trees had the same problem. (And we know damn well that they're unpretty enough nobody will take them.)

We have carrots still in the ground that will be plowed up with spring plowing and wasted onto the compost pile. (Twisted, forky, possible worms. Unpretty again.)

I'll buy it. (We give away all we can to friends tolerant of nonpointy carrots, small or scabby apples, open-pollinated corn and so forth, but much still goes to waste.)
