Haven't bought any trees from him, but he was very knowledgeable and helpful last Sunday. The nursery is supplying Marlborough's trees, BTW.VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-9922440678821711772012-10-21T23:36:14.774+01:002012-10-21T23:36:14.774+01:00yes indeed - I have already passed it on to Tricia...yes indeed - I have already passed it on to Tricia!Lunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-41535200227068107262012-10-21T21:01:05.723+01:002012-10-21T21:01:05.723+01:00Anna - I'll be developing the map to include t...Anna - I'll be developing the map to include the info I found out at the Apple Day, plus other bits and bobs I've found and photos of each apple.

A while back I was playing with maps too. I think I got quite far with them but as usual I was a bit ambitious in my idea and as yet I have never used them - my posts have been on the lean side for a while. I’m thinking I’ll never catch you up – a huge congrats to you :-DShirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956905954971466579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-45533211311935862742012-10-17T21:15:07.340+01:002012-10-17T21:15:07.340+01:00Joy - great to see you and thanks :)

This blog was started out of my curiosity to see how blogging worked. That continued when I did my <i>Open Garden</i> when I tried lots of new things out. It's always good to add another :)VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-79437598248351978852012-10-17T12:59:16.893+01:002012-10-17T12:59:16.893+01:00Hi Anna - yes, Corsley Pippin is on the map :) It&...Hi Anna - yes, Corsley Pippin is on the map :) It's one of the ones which wasn't available for tasting, hence no picture. It's a bit further away than my 2 contenders though.<br /><br />I have Joan Morgan's <i>Apple Book</i> which is fab. I thought it overlapped too much with The Apple Source Book, so I haven't bought it. The authors were very much involved with Common Ground and Apple Days. The 'England in Particular' part of Common Ground's website also has county by county apple listings :)<br /><br />Lea - the 2 I'm looking at originate less than 10 miles away which is great!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-36630074526063791922012-10-17T12:53:32.195+01:002012-10-17T12:53:32.195+01:00I love apples!

'The Apple Source Book' contains a gazeteer of varieties listed by county. I've just had a look at my copy and wondered whether 'Corsley Pippin' is on your list of possibles? As for your 5th blog anniversary, I'm sure that you will come up with something memorable to mark the occasion :)Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.com
