An apple a day...


I've been hard at work in the garden all afternoon, picking apples, and scooping up the windfalls. There are so many, we've never had such a huge haul. 


They are Discovery, crisp and sweet, but they won't keep. I wish I had a cider press or juicer....


I foresee a LOT of apple cake...

In between picking and gathering, I have taken a lot of photographs of apples. I am sure my neighbours think I am strange. But the apples are beautiful, and it was a perfect autumn afternoon.

  4. I have two small espaliered apples trees in my garden which have been loaded with apples this year. It's been a wonderful summer for apples. The first home grown crumble is in the oven now... here's to many more!

    1. Espaliered trees are a joy in themselves. We have some cooking apples coming along too, and I am looking forward to some crumbles...
