Storing Apples

If you want to store apples, you need to store them directly from the tree. The apples need to be handled very carefully. Each one wrapped in newspaper and then place in a dark cool place such as a shed, cellar or garage. They need to go somewhere where they will not be disturbed until you need them. Alternatively you can peel, core and slice them, then put them in the freezer ready for that wonderful French apple tart that you are dying to make.

Other things to do in the garden this week:

If you would like onions for the summer you had better get your skates on and plant out the sets now. You can still sow winter lettuces under cloches, when these have come up plant them out in the greenhouse or under poly tunnels, my rocket is doing amazingly well. The next post will be about protecting your garden from frost and winter weather. Subscribe to the blog to be notified as soon as it has been posted!
