Some time I will get back to saying something significant and thoughtful, but that time will not be today. Instead I rejoice that I now have not just a gate and a proper fence at the top of the garden but also restored fencing either side of the house, rather than a few bits of rotten pine held up with ivy.
And the fish appear to be doing all right. The orange one gets a bit aggressive at mealtimes, but not consistently and now that it is one of four fish it can't have a go at all the others at once so there isn't that much of a problem. But this isn't a photograph of them, but of one of the other inhabitants of the pond, a frog who hangs around behind one of the bunches of weed.
Meanwhile the small tree of eating apples which doesn't always fruit has excelled itself this year. Usually producing small, not that tasty fruits, whatever other horrors 2020 has brought with it, this year the tree has fruited copiously in a way it never has before. And the apples are huge. Yesterday I ate easily the biggest eating apple that has ever passed my lips - bigger than this one!
I have just stewed a lovely bramley apple from a neighbour...
ReplyDeleteI'm used to the cooking apple tree in the garden producing gigantic fruits, but not the eating apple tree - half the time it doesn't fruit at all.
