THE first of the season’s apples are ready and at Kilmacolm Flower Show on Saturday I Noticed a dish of Discovery apples on the bench. Discovery are one of the first apples to ripen.
But how do you know when your apples are ready to pick. Simply place your hand under the apple and lift it up giving it a little twist. If the apple is ready to harvest it will come off the tree. If not, leave the apple for a couple more weeks and try again.
Think About the Coming Winter
Use the coming weeks to think about the coming winter months and prepare the tasks that need to be carried out over the next few weeks.
