My favorites are white pear (named after the color of their inner flesh) and old tymie green apples. Generally, the apple trees are heirloom granny smith and or macintosh lines, but not the kind like you get in the grocery store. Some may also be of the crabapple variety. The old tymie lines come from apple trees you find out in the country that people have grown in their yards and gardens for generations. Generally, these are known as "green apples" because they are picked while the flesh is still very firm and the taste tart with a hint of sweetness. Yeah baby, we're talking old school mountain apples! There are the ruins of an ancient indian civilization a few miles from my studio, on top of a small (in terms of height) mountain. Not much left except some rock walls, earth and rock foundations for what was probably some kind of permanent shelters and a graveyard nearby where the graves are marked by small mounds of rocks. Many of the graves are now covered by leaves, since the whole area is thick in old growth hardwoods. The ones that can be seen I've counted less than a dozen. I found the settlement about 15 years ago and don't tell people where it is. One because once word gets out invariably some will pillage and destroy the place. Two, even if they don't destroy it, people visiting making all kinds of trails and possibly leaving behind trash would taint what is no doubt a sacred place. The mountain is in an area that is known as New Jerusalem Major. An area that starts near Kingston, runs out towards Rome, back east to just south of Calhoun (encompassing Johns and Turkey mountain valleys) and continues on towards Pine Log, then back towards Kingston through Pleasant Valley. Quite a large area, with Adairsville right in the middle, where New Jerusalem Proper is located at the intersection of Highway 140 and Oak Grove Road, where the Mount Of Saints creates a small rise above the Sacred Herb Gardens, which in turn is located on a plain that starts a gentle slope downward beginning on Boyd Mountain and buttressed by Ward, Ayers, Armstrong and Brownlee Mountains. In fact, it is all part of one large (square mile wise) mountain. This whole area of New Jerusalem Major has many locations where ancient herb gardens once were planted by the original people who came to this area. These tribes represented by the ruins on the mountain are much older than the Cherokee and Etowahs, and there is much dispute as to if they were the ones who evolved into these people or were prehistoric ancestors who died or moved out in one of the early ice ages after humans came to this part of the world. I always make it a point to scattered a few thirty gallon bags of herb seeds throughout New Jerusalem Major every year. In areas on or near places I don't think will be developed for a while. This year I began to see results, but that's a whole 'nother story for a future time. A real mystery are the apple trees that grow near the ruins. There's only three or four left now, with the skeletons of many older apple trees scattered around. If you want to scare the shit out of someone take them to the grove right at nightfall. I've been there, and let's just say, it's an experience. The apple trees aren't right on top of the ruins, just nearby, and whomever planted these trees had to have seen the ruins, they're too close otherwise not to have. I think they had respect of the place and left it alone, perhaps decades ago planting the trees in honor of the ancient Indians. Whatever the reason and whenever it was done, in another few decades or so, these old apple trees will probably all be gone. So I gathered my bins, climbed the mountain in early August, and picked many bushels of these magic apples. I took along a special blend of incense, my peace pipe, and an offering of rare, hard to find herbs I have gathered throughout New Jerusalem Major this summer, to sit a while with the ancient ones up on that mountain. Till they're all gone, I'll sell these apples for 50 cents a pound on the porch on the corner of Oak Grove and 140 on Saturdays 10 am till 3 or 4 ish, along with some of the other sacred herbs I've collected throughout New Jerusalem. Come by and sit a spell. (seeds from these apples are free while they last, just send me a self addressed, stamped envelope with one first class postage stamp, or equivalent affixed, to: The Sacred Herb Gardens Of New Jerusalem, Kingdom Farms, 6410 Hwy 140, Adairsville, GA 30103 USA. Seedlings will be available from Kingdom Farms beginning in the spring of 2009)
