Title: What a difference a variety makes
Post by: RenishawPhil on July 20, 2011, 15:40:45
Cara on the left....

Pink fur apple on the right...

Both just one plant....

And an onion in the middle for good measure!

The Pink fur apple and cara are on the same patch of ground, had same water and planted at same time.  Pink fur apple hulmes quite small.

Had a little bit of blight on cara which  i have removed.

When do people normally harvest their pink fur apple?
