Nightingale Cider Co@nightingalecider.bsky.social · 2w agoThis week, we’re picking Redlove apples 🍎 They might be small this year, but the sugars are incredible and they’re absolutely packed with flavour. We can’t wait to see what they bring to this year’s vintage. #CiderYes #DrinkGreatCider
Apple 'Gibbon's Russet'. Not very russety. Not very flavourful. A hint of melon, not much acid, not much sugar either. Dry and mealy too. I think I left this one on the tree a bit too long. Maybe next year it will impress me more.
I mean the venn diagram of these things...

The orchard’s really been popping this year, so I thought I’d post a few pictures of what’s in, in case there be apple admirers among you.

Goldparmäne. King of the Pippins in English, Reine des Reinettes in French, I love this apple. Makes a damn good cider too. Despite what the illustrator wrote, it’s originally French, and apparently has been around since at least 1510. A very old variety.

That makes sense. I will put something together in the next couple of weeks, including a template for apple descriptions so they are consistent, and then I can recruit fellow apple nerds to assist.
What is so appealing about the name of this apple? I really like that name though.

Bike lanes arguably do more to protect pedestrians than they protect cyclists. (Shorter crossing distances, better visibility, traffic-calming effect etc)
Gravel Influencer@gravelinfluencer.bsky.social · 3w agoPeople are rarely just pedestrians or just cyclists. We're often both and should be allies against cars. There's a difference between discussions about improving infrastructure and safety for people on foot, and the outright vilification of cyclists I'm seeing lately. It's unproductive and harmful.
An apple a day keeps the apple away?

"RETURN IT TO POSITION IF IT'S NOT READY"
Orchard Notes@orchardnotes.com · 4w agoPSA: A reminder that the best way to pick apples & pears is as easy as 1-2-3: 1. Cup the fruit in the palm of your hand 2. Lift the fruit gently towards horizontal 3. Detach the ripe fruit, or return it to position if it’s not ready 👍🍎👍 orchardnotes.com/2020/09/03/h... #apples #pears #harvesting
