Good thing about crab apple trees is you don't have to worry about scrumping

I bet no kid ever took a second bite out of a crab apple

Ah you can't beat a nice sharp apple, ones that make you wince.

got my heated throw back out this morning so that goes on with the kettle when my morning alarm goes off, everyone ready for Christmas ?

Ugh Christmas is one of my least favourite times of year. Thinking of going abroad for it this year.

Wild day yesterday proper storm and today its back to late summer sunshine again. Very strange weather.

I feel for you.... My potted apple tree (patio size) got blown over onto my lawn and 15 apples were strewn about the grass

They are not meant to be ready to pick for about another 6-7 weeks so are a little on the sharp side eating wise. I might need to see if someone wants to make an apple pie or something from them.

I am left with 12 on the tree so hoping them will remain and ripen properly... On the positive, no branches were broken and it wil let the smaller apples grow a bit better due to less competition.

Can you not just leave them to ripen in a shed or something? So long as they aren't bruised/split that is
