I am not nearly as knowledgeable as you about taking care of apple trees--my husband prunes them, and I just pick them. Glad to know that "June drop" is normal, though. I've had quite a few fall to the ground the last few weeks, but the branches still are full.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-50192107988407350752008-08-02T18:15:00.000+01:002008-08-02T18:15:00.000+01:00Oh about the potatoes being on the grass . . .When...Oh about the potatoes being on the grass . . .<BR/><BR/>When my father married my stepmother I made the wedding cake. The ingredients were so vast and tempting (fruits and spices and different kinds of sugars) we took them all out onto the lawn in separate bowls so we could photograph them. (Didn't have a flash.)<BR/><BR/>Just as we'd got them all nicely laid out, a man came up the drive to say he'd taken an aerial picture of the house and garden, would we like to buy a copy? He couldn't take his eyes off the bowls but didn't like to ask what on earth we were doing.<BR/><BR/>I was sorry he'd not flown over to take his photo while the 'ingredients' were there!<BR/><BR/>LucyLucy Corranderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743561298706555813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-10775384124255548732008-08-02T18:10:00.000+01:002008-08-02T18:10:00.000+01:00Ditto - I came across a whole load of reddish eg...Ditto - I came across a whole load of reddish egg things in the cyclamen bed the other day which were a similar shape and I thought I was about to find out what they were (I couldn't immediately work out the scale for the potato picture).<BR/><BR/>But maybe I was already in a ready to be put off mode because I find summer pruning scary. I'm always worried it will bring on too much new leaf growth. And I hate taking away apples. Maybe I wouldn't mind if I had as many as you. So, sometimes it gets done - and sometimes it doesn't.<BR/><BR/>(Perhaps if 'Tom Thumb' tasted as good as it looks, I might be more assiduous, but the flavour is horribly bland and the texture not great.)<BR/><BR/>LucyLucy Corranderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743561298706555813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-78641338972293018782008-08-01T22:17:00.000+01:002008-08-01T22:17:00.000+01:00why did you put your potatoes on the lawn?
