ROSY CURTAIN

We have 2 huge old apple trees in our orchard that have never been pruned - I keep meaning to but each year I can’t quite face it and they look lovely when they’re covered with apples.  This year the early eating one (pictured) is completely weighed down with bright red fruits -
like a wonderful apple studded curtain.  These early to ripen eating apples won’t store though, so we must use them all up as quickly as possible.  If you have the same problem, remember that they freeze well, if peeled, sliced and lightly cooked.  Arduous, but worth it.
