Hello from a newbie in South Wales!

[veggiechicken]

Hahaha yes that's me but the boss doesn't like me to be too obvious about it hence the no-h. I thought I disguised the name well :-)

Its good to know who your friends are if it doesn't stop raining

You've large enough trees to climb, VC!

[veggiechicken]

If you think I'm sitting in the top of a tree for 40 days and 40 nights when I could be in a comfy ark with lots of pets, think on..........

[chris]

Well, you could ferment some apples up there - just get jolly for that amount of time - it'd soon pass

[veggiechicken]

I hope the Great Flood isn't this year as, prepare yourself Chris, there are very few apples. Most of the trees have none Its been so bad for them - plenty of blossom that blew away in the high winds and after that, who knows - lack of pollinators maybe?
Some of the trees always have apples, I've never known them have none before.

[chris]

I have 2 apples, out of 4 or 5 trees (can't remember how many I have). Last year I had 20 or so on 1 tree ! (they're only young).

[veggiechicken]

Apologies No-h, we've sidetracked your welcome thread Its not unusual!!
Chris, let's you and I disappear and pop up somewhere else - I'm going down the Ferry soon

LOL - we're always side tracked! I'm feeling a bit happier about my lack of apples last season now I know that you guys are having the same problems. I think that our apples are so used to droughts that they dropped any apples they had just from shock of the wet stuff!

[Feral007]

And I'm not too unhappy since I can't afford apple cider making equipment just yet.....

Hello & welcome, No-h.
Your allotment sounds exciting & great name, btw.
