It was a miserable day with a strong to gale force wind blowing all day. The temperature managed around 17°C which I suppose isn't too bad but the wind took the edge of the temperature. We had a scattering of showers throughout the day.
Once again we decided to wait for better weather to visit the plot, although as we’re on part time chicken duties this week we will have to visit on Wednesday in any case whatever the weather. Our plot neighbour is on holiday and we are helping to look after his chickens.
In one of the calmer spells of weather I decided to harvest some of our cooking apples before they were blown off the tree and bruised.
These apples which we think are Peasgood Nonsuch cook really well and have grown to a good size. I didn’t manage to pick all the apples before it started to rain again. Most of the apples were in excellent condition although a few had been damaged by the pesky codling moth.
