Oh dear, our tree is looking just a bit threadbare now, well past the glory days of Spring!
We still have a scattering of apples on our excuse for a lawn – I did try and collect enough to do something with them but they really didn’t look very appetising and certainly didn’t look as glossy and appetising as those I’ve seen in photos! So I’m afraid the ones I’d picked up ended up going to the compost bin instead of being transformed into crab apple jelly as they didn’t look healthy enough to want to eat.

The season’s solved the challenge of what to do with the fruits!
Indeed! Determined to get better organised next year, didn’t collect enough before they spoiled this time.
What a pretty picture of the apples on the lawn …

At least you are still going to do something with some of the apples.
I know what you mean, I have an ornamental plum, and this year it actually produced a fine array of fruit. I meant to check whether I could do anything edible with them, but instead life moved on and they dropped to the ground, to be eaten by slugs, snails, and anything else wandering around that fancied the smell. At least your fruit went on the compost heap!
I’m using the excuse that there was so much to do in the garden at that time of year… 🙂
