Hey, that is cedar-apple rust that transfers between cedars and apples. My apple tree suffered from it. It makes weird crown galls on the leaves. It can transfer between cedars and apples growing as much as a mile apart, as the spores are wind borne.
I'm not doing anything different. Just keep doing what we have been doing. Husband does most of the grocery shopping, but I have increased doing some of it in the last year or so. We go to 5 different stores, but not weekly, of course. If food inflation should really skyrocket in summer, I would go ahead and plant some more late summer vegetables, which I don't usually do, and I would plan to expand the food garden for the next year. I do not freeze much from the garden, as we don't have much freezer space.
