I was literally enjoying the fruits of my labours yesterday – in that I was picking and eating a lot of apples from the garden. Believe it or not this is the after picture, plus there’s another tree! Looking forward to trying this with them.
When I say “I” picked them, I mean I supervised and took charge of quality control (still have a bit of tummy ache).
They
are Discovery apples which are one of the earliest varieties to ripen.
They don’t store well so you won’t normally find for sale in
the supermarket.
They taste a-may-zing (zing being the key word here). I love the way the red of the skin bleeds into the white flesh.
There were a lot of sub-standard fallers and we all know there’s only one way to deal with those bad boys!
