#Bramleys
Got 6 gallons. That’ll do. Still hundreds of plump bramleys on the tree.

Smallholding and allotmenting does not deal in sensible amounts. Today's problem is 3 square foot of Aji Limon chillies now spread out inside to maximise light and hopefully ripen. Internet is divided on whether ethylene helps, so hedging bets by chucking a couple of Bramleys on too.

There are some apples that were in a hurry to be picked and dropped off into the grass. They are called windfall. We finding those ones too.

Bonjour mes ORCs, sunny again but I shall not be deceived into putting out the washing. A day of cooking and cleaning is ahead: channa dal, quetsch jam, prepping fruit for Christmas cakes and puddings, apple crumble with Bramleys from our new trees. Autumn is truly upon us! Have a great day, all.

Emergency Apple Pie Drop to Aylestone. The Scarlett Crofton just about keeping us going until the Bramleys are ready 🌱

I have just roasted some plums in gingerbread syrup, and some bramleys in lemon sugar. I will be combining them under a flaked almond crumble. There will also be some sort of main course first but pffft *dismissive gesture*

I’m making a almond flour chocolate cake and an apple crumble cake (with Bramleys from my Mum’s garden). The crumble cake is done and cooling, chocolate cake in the oven. House smells lovely.

Overcast out this morning. On my bonus walk yesterday, Bella and I walked through the community orchard in Bathwick Fields. This year, they've helpfully labelled some of the trees and it is a good apple year around here. Have a good day! xx

Bramleys are getting hard to source, a fabulous flavour when sweetened.
The plums were plundered by birds so we'll never know. Have to try again next year.

Stunning. When my parents were apple-growers, they interplanted crab apple 'Golden Hornet' as a pollinator in the Bramley orchards, still covered in fruit after all the Bramleys were picked or fallen. This image really takes me back to walking up the aisles of trees on cider-scented autumn days,

One of our favourites, but they do collapse when you show them any heat (yet unlike Bramleys great eaters too)!

Another vote for Cox's orange pippins (are they just UK?) And Bramleys for cooking, they fall apart pleasingly when cooked

Can I ask why no Bramleys yet?

We found out late last night that it was Apple Pie Day. You can't have apple pie without apples ... and there's more to life than Bramleys. So here's a list of apples from John Gwin's commonplace book www.southwalesrecordsociety.co.uk/35.htm

It seems like a bumper year for our Bramleys too!

I saw an article calling for jam makers yesterday. Apparently no one makes jam anymore either. But will apples, I mainly eat them. These ones also store quite well in the pantry, as do the bramleys, when they're ready

Apple Picking.
A perfect autumn task now that the sun is shining after early rain.
Today it is the Bramleys which are large and about to fall if not picked. Promise of apple pies through the winter.

On the allotment today - tiny Bramleys (all ready for June Drop), tiny pears, and gooseberries. I’m always surprised by how early the latter start to ripen.

After a poor harvest last year, it looks like being excellent for Bramleys and pears this time.
June Drop is well under way.

Thanks a lot! Their searchable database is wonderful. I live in Germany. I observe only a few cultivars in shops and not necessarily the same ones as in uk (rarely coxs, never bramleys) mostly: gala, braeburn, jonagold. Gravenstein is the only german produced cultivar that i recall seeing.

As the land was originally an orchard, we believe the apple trees are of a similar age. Out of 7 trees, we know there are 3 Bramleys, 1 Lord Derby and 1 Beauty of Bath, but have no clue as to the rest. The Bramleys still produce a lot of fruit & 2022 was a bumper year with very large apples!
