Thems funny South American jobbies though. Taste a bit funny as well...

What, Anyas?
I love them, I do. Very tasty, but I can understand why some people don't like them.

They're ok for a change, but I prefer a charlotte/maris piper/king edward depending what I'm doing with them.

I misunderstood. I thought we were talking new potatoes. Anyas don't do anything for me except as new potatoes, either hot with pies or cold in salads.

Sorry. We were. I kinda started generalising. But for news I prefer a charlotte

Well, the run of the mill breed(s) sold here tend to Monty's image. Although they can come in some rather strange shapes the general trend is to spherical.

Look. If all potatoes can in the same shape then there could've been no That's Life, and all our childhood Sunday evenings would have been all the poorer.

I have a fair few of these to remove...

I have to say - this looks like sheer genius - I am gonna try it!

Just weighed our apple crop from this year. A little over 150kg. I'm not sure I'll have enough storage space. I might have to make some cider. Anybody got any good recipes for making fruit ciders?

I love em as well but they are not the most practical and go off super fast.

No - three trees in our garden, and three trees in the neighbour's (who is elderly and has given up on gardening) and another four trees on the other side. It's the neighbour on the other side who has the apple store (a wooden shed behind his chickens) - we have a kind of communal arrangement where fruit is concerned, and we share the stuff that you don't have to do a lot with apart from pick it (apples, blackberries, sloes). We aren't sure what all the varieties are exactly, but they're all late croppers - We have two cooker apple trees which gives nearly half the crop, and the other eight trees are all eaters. The tastiest one is a sweet red apple on a ballerina tree in my garden, the rest being mostly crisp green types.

do what my dad used to do - wrap them all carefully and store them in a dark corner of the garage in boxes - then chuck 'em all away in the Spring when you discover that they have all rotted into maggot-filled mush...

Yes - firstly you'll need to pick a selection of fruits from both the hedgerow and from the supermarket fruit bit - go and make cider with them. Then, with all those lovely apples you've saved embark on producing a veritable cornucopia of apple pies, crumbles, strudels, sauces, cakes, tarts, chutneys, jams and so on.

I like it.

but, however, my neighbour is taking the ones we've not got room for to a farmer's market at Bakewell this weekend... (we've never done this before, if we sell enough we might even cover the expense of the stall! )

I never met your father but it's like we knew each other.

Ours normally get moved once the clocks go back.

We've been collecting apples this morning too. Got quite a few and they are huge. Dual purpose cookers/eaters. Might try making an apple pie...
