As a matter of interest just how many apple trees constitute an orchard? I was at the allotment yesterday to harvest my 'Sunset' apples - just in the nick of time methinks. One or two had crash landed and the forecast for the next couple of days or so isn't too good. I love walking up our lane on October mornings and discovering shiny conkers on the ground.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-48818702340237286592013-10-02T13:16:11.161+01:002013-10-02T13:16:11.161+01:00I love apples!

I don't love days like today but am staying optimistic for the rest of October! I've just written a post about the changes in my garden over autumn, I love the way some plants come into their own and the way some just cling on. Asters are exceptional at this time of year. I went to Temple Newsam in Leeds last weekend to look at them but they weren't at their peak by any means! They have the national collection in Leeds, I'll have to post my photos but silly me forgot my camera - too busy battling with the dog! So I only have phone photos - not great! Waterperry looks great and the study day sounds cool! Really lovely photo of the border :) Anna Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03919869821280585077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-8504163226658147612013-10-02T10:50:18.741+01:002013-10-02T10:50:18.741+01:00I love apple trees too.

All utterly delicious - we had a little taste test after tea. I think I will be joining you in shoehorning a small orchard onto my allotment. I also have a dream of an orchard (with bees and chickens), but I think the allotment might have to do instead. I love the clocks going back in October, and the dark short days and early evenings, and Hallowe'en and that feeling of winter coming and also, it's my birthday! A lovely post VP, I look forward to hearing more about apples from you soon.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14311693185700341580noreply@blogger.com
