First up are the trees, another five apple trees: a late fruiting variety. These should be harvested, in a few years time, in November. If the 23 trees I planted by the river survive, I should thus be harvesting from August right the way to the run up to Advent. Sadly, following my visit to the Countess of Chester on Tuesday, I have stitches in my back and hard exercise is forbidden and so they will not be joining my two peach trees, at the top of the area once known as the jungle, which is now the vegetable garden, for a good two weeks.
Sitting in at the front of the trees is the other delivery today, operation Mincemeat the film. I doubt that it will assist me with my enquiries into the underpants of my great great uncle HAL Fisher but it will provide weekend family viewing none the less.
