      I'm glad that somebody has done well with their apples & rhubarb, because the apple/pear crops are really awful (again) round here, and the rhubarb has also been a disaster this year.

      However, I've still got some my own pressed and pasteurised apple juice left over from good year's harvests (2,000 lbs), and also some pasteurised pure rhubarb juice from the year when we picked about 200lbs.

        My James Grieve apples are in abundance this year too. The apricots are absolutely laden and most of the rest of my fruit is doing very well. Lots of good stuff this year. :)

        Looks good, woo!

        My apples and pears are looking abundant this year (but, I doubt I'll be around to harvest).
        My two rhubarbs are both earlies and did very well, but, they are in a bed with Jerusalem Artichokes and have disappeared under the assault :doh:
