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.

DeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteEspaliered trees are a joy in themselves. We have some cooking apples coming along too, and I am looking forward to some crumbles...
DeleteI love apple season, sadly we haven't got any apple trees, yours look delicious! :) x
ReplyDeleteIf only you were a little closer, I've taken to offering them on Facebook and putting a box out in my street!
