We heeded the advice received from knowledgeable blogger friends and carefully lifted an apple from the tree. It came away easily so we picked another. Yep, easy to pick so most are ready early. They were a good size too and I intended to bake them for dessert. What I didn't know until I washed them was that something had got into the big one on the left through the base of the stalk. I cut it in half and found...earwigs!....yuk ,yuk,yuk. It was such a shame because the fruit looked perfect 👌 The smaller apple was cut up and stewed and tasted tart but delicious. We intend to pick more tomorrow but will need to look closely at each and every one! I guess insects are something to be expected if we don't intend to spray the trees......
As our garden is so boggy in the wet weather, we have bought some stepping stones to make it easy to get to the shed. At the moment they are laid on the grass to get a feel for the exact positioning but will be inset later so that we can simply mow over them. G has also begun raised beds to the left so that they can eventually be filled with flowers for lots of colour.
(Do excuse the washing line full of socks. Why on earth did I take the photograph at that precise moment? 😆 What a numpty...The line is always taken up and put away after use, I promise!)
The green plastic mini greenhouse to the right is being used to grow tomatoes, unsuccessfully I might add, the fruit just isn't ripening so it will be removed in a week or two and taken to the allotment. Another flower bed will be created in it's place and I think it will look a lot neater.
Stay safe everyone wherever in the world you happen to be x
I love the paving stones. You are wise to leave them "loose" until you've sorted the best positioning. Something which the previous owner of our house did not do. (or maybe they had a pythonesque walking style)
ReplyDeleteHaha ... I love that Angela, a 'pythonesque walking style', brilliant and I can imagine.

DeleteYes as Angela says that's a really good idea to put the stones down first, otherwise you could perhaps forever have to 'lunge' your way to the shed.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to see your garden from this angle (even with the socks), as the two houses I am currently looking at have similar sized gardens, one is all manicured to perfection and goes to a triangular point and the other is completely paved so I will need to gather in ideas for re-landscaping it.
Lunging to the shed at my age is just not on Sue ....lol...
DeleteRe the garden: ours is a bit of an odd shape too and the ground is pure clay so we are creating the garden as inspiration takes us. Watch this space ;)
Your path looks very nice.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Thank you, Jackie, it will be adjusted slightly as we go but seems to work x
DeleteOh Yuck! Earwigs! That's the perils of growing your own, isn't it. I've got a few fruit trees in my garden and I've learnt to cut fruit in half before biting into it, haha. A good idea to leave the stepping stones loose to get a feel for where you want them.
ReplyDeleteYes, Jo, it's always wise to cut into home grown produce before eating or cooking it ;) Someone said to me that the only thing worse than biting into an apple and finding a worm is biting it and finding HALF a worm!! It sends shivers down my spine!
DeleteI like seeing the socks on the clothesline! Too bad about the earwigs. I hope you get an abundant crop of apples. I don't use spray, either.
ReplyDeleteAh the socks...lol...I'll never make a good photographer, Stephenie! No, we really don't want to spray either. We will have to try some other deterrent like grease banding or something.
