And a great crop I got this year. Twice as many as last year. I'm looking forward to sampling them. I'm not sure yet what medium I'm going to use to taste them, apple tart, apple jam, apple jelly, apple sauce... Endless choices.
There are still some left on the tree, but they are too small to pick, and there is about the same amount again on the ground.
The slugs got to the one's on the ground before I did, so they have already been 'sampled'. I hope they, the slugs that is, enjoyed them. And I hope they enjoy the with the same relish, the slug pellets that I am going to put down now, and hopefully that will get rid of them before they eat anything else in the garden! I've heard that a good way to get rid of slugs is to place cans of cider round the garden, then the slugs crawl into them and die. Probably a better way to go then slug pellets.
I'm still not sure what to do with them. The apples, that is, not the slugs!
I also have a bumper crop of Begonia's.
Thankfully the slugs didn't eat them! Actually, it's a pity you can't eat Begonia's, as this lot would make a lovely colorful cake.
Anyway, much as I'd love to give you a tour of all the lovely plants flowering in my garden at the moment, I best get back to the apples, otherwise I will be chopping and peeling all night!
Still not sure what to do with them...
Glass of cider anyone?
