Early Victorian apples

Extra duty at Pitmedden Garden today as lots of staff and volunteers on holiday. Just when the apple harvest comes along. I picked these six baskets full and another of fallen ones which were on the ground and a bit nibbled.
Quite a new experience as I had to climb a ladder to reach the top ones!!!
Three good things
1. A few hours later and the aching arms and shoulders were not feeling too bad!
2. Afternoon nap on the sofa 😴
3. Fun chat with Neil after dinner. Isn't WhatsApp wonderful!
You have been busy! What happens to the apples now?

@dide thank you... the apples go to the kitchen and are made into apple pies, which are frozen and sold on Apple Sunday/weekend at the end of September. 😊

Well done, I like making apple crisp with my apples.
Served hot with ice cream is yummy!

Nice! A good crop and nice to hear they find their way back to the shop on Apple Sunday!
