I had a bumper apple crop last year, and got a food mill so that this year I could actually can apple butter and apple sauce.

This year, one of the apple trees blossomed, neither of the cherry trees did. I saw very few bees, and I'm not seeing any apples starting to grow even on the tree that bloomed.

I read online where another guy said his small orchard was completely barren as well.

The 'kitchen table' impact is that ignoring climate change is going to lead to far higher food prices.
