FRUIT AND VEG
Come spring and you are wondering what the fruit crop will
bring. Too early for the strawberries, raspberries and black current as the
blossom has not appeared yet. However my apple trees and plum tree are showing
some blossom. The more blossom the larger the crop. I have one established
apple tree, three super column apple trees and a step over apple. The latter
were planted in the spring of last year and this year we appear to have blossom
on two of them. I don’t think the new trees will yield that much but the old
timer is covered in blossom as it has been for the previous two years which
should give me plenty of scrummy apples come the late autumn. The other veg in
the garden which is growing to a huge size at the moment is the rhubarb with
leaves nearly two foot across and the stalks already beginning to turn red.
As well as eating apples all this fruit and veg means two of
my favourite dishes. Apple crumble and Rhubarb crumble. The mouth’s watering
already.
