I am so envious of your apples. I planted a Bramley this year and so far nothing but I live in hope. Your picture has given me something to look forward to.

Have almost forgotten what rain looks like here too - another bone dry plot! Am trying to keep a few things watered - e.g. yard long beans  ;D - way over the top of their wigwam but no flowers yet - but fear its a losing battle.
