Hello,
One of the delights of my job is the fruit side of the nursery - and that means apples!! Here we are, just into August and the start of a brand new season of English apples!! Regular visitors to the nursery will know that we have an Apple Shed in the fruit sales area - and from now until the end of March (or when our customers have eaten them all!!) - we have apples available for you to come and taste!
We grow hundreds of different varieties - and the choice can be a bit over-whelming sometimes - but to actually come to the nursery and to be able to taste them will make your selection so much easier!!
At this early stage - there are only two varieties in - Vista Bella (see photo above) and Beauty of Bath - none of these earlies store very well - but what could be more pleasant than picking a bright red apple - still warm from the sun - and eating it straight off the tree!!!
Over the coming weeks and months - more and more fruit will be added as it ripens - and of course we have our big apple -tasting day at the end of October - Saturday October 23rd -a date for your diary - we will have apples to buy and taste - it is simply a fun day celebrating everything apple!! Do come if you can!!
UNTIL NEXT TIME,
RICHARD
