Plant an apple tree

Did you know it’s Apple Day on 21st October? No, neither did I until I just went looking for it. I’ve got a couple of apple trees in my garden and this year, I got the most wonderful crop. As soon as we find somewhere bigger/permanent to live, I’m going to plant a whole orchard full of wonderful English apples with fabulous names such as ‘Peasgood Nonsuch’, ‘Adam’s Pearmain’, ‘Pitmaston Pineapple’ and ‘William Crump’.

If I get a yen to make cider, I’ll grow ‘Slack ma Girdle’ and ‘Sops in Wine’ and maybe even ‘Fillabarrel’ :) And if you think I’m making these up, go look at Adam’s Apples. I got my raspberry canes and a blueberry bush from him two years ago and this year we were inundated with raspberries.
