Did you ever pick apples?

So why did she have to stop with apples? I picked apples pretty much every fall by the bushels since we had several trees on the farm . Apples bear usually every other year but there are always some each year so we had to pick them as well. I asked why she had to stop with apples since we also picked cherries, plums, apricots, pears and peaches of the big fruits and then gooseberries, raspberries and strawberries of the smaller fruits. Mother loved trees and planted a lot of trees and bushes so we also had walnut and a couple of other nut trees.
