Where did they go??
Well. We have been out of luck this season.
As much as we had hundreds and hundreds of apples. They were all pretty useless. We were infected with apple maggots.
I think we needed to be spraying at the time we were moving in. of course we didn't know this and once the bugs take control. They win.
The chickens have had a lovely feast of windfall apples and bugs.
We did pick 6 crates of infected apples to have a go at pressing into cider. But unfortunately, it became too difficult to save the fruit and process it for cider.
We do have all the gear ready now for next year. I guess that's a bonus. And we have loads of time to work out how to preserve them for eating.
Next time.
