#Rhubarb glut on the way? Wondering what else to do with all those stalks, apart from crumble and custard? Hannah Glasse has a sort-of recipe for 'rhubarb tarts' that you could try. Not very helpful, but it does date to 1760, so the earliest I've found: orchardnotes.com/2024/04/06/han…
Well, well. I appear to have rediscovered a long-lost, C19th collection of #orchard-themed medieval / renaissance manuscript illustrations! Lots of #apples, #cider production, historical cookery, and some biblical stuff too, by the looks of things: orchardnotes.com/2024/04/01/lon…
Not much beats the Japanese wineberry for being the prettiest of the Rubus clan , slightly sticky , mildly flavoured fruit , glowing berries and lovely canes
Gathering forced rhubarb for the spring markets in West Yorkshire's 'golden triangle', 1940s. The triangle is the centre of the world for rhubarb, bordered by Leeds, Wakefield and Bradford. In 2010 Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb was awarded Protected Designation of Origin status.
Apple buds are starting to waken from dormancy, so I thought it might be a good time to re-post my photo-series showing the growth and development of a single 'Herefordshire Russet': 'Lifecycle of an Apple, From Bud to Blossom to Fruit' orchardnotes.com/2023/03/28/lif…
We delve into the wonderful world of #pomology* literature with @OrchardNotes for our latest blog, where he shares his top five books and where to find them online. Read more: bit.ly/3PmNEkW *the study of fruit, fruit growing and orchard management techniques
Enjoyed a session of cordon work at the #allotment today: pruning, re-wiring, tying in, feeding, mulching. Fingers crossed for healthy fruit bud development and tasty #apples to follow.
Modest medlar crop from my little tree (and who needs more?) I rather like them - they are bletting (going soft and over-ripe and therefore edible) on the side tree, tasting like a big mushy hawthorn berry. Worth growing for spring flowers alone of course.
So. A thing that happened yesterday, for the first time since 2020: I found 'Norfolk Beefing apples for sale. As a result, today and into the next three days, I am attempting to make my first ever batch of Norfolk Biffins. This is very exciting. Very exciting indeed.
Looks like our #medlars are now nicely bletted. In our house that can only mean one thing... It's medlar-cheese-making time! And tomorrow... It's medlar-jelly-making time! 😁😋
Our #Manchester project manager Elsa talks about how community orchards are great for tackling loneliness, not just growing fruit (synopsis for those without FT access as it's behind a paywall) ft.com/content/6db584…
Some excellent advice on picking, grading and storing fresh #apples to be had here, courtesy of wholefedhomestead.com. youtu.be/QE0crVK24gI?si…
I've been e-chatting to Suffolk-based cook and food historian Monica Askay, about her keen interest in heritage orchards and historical cookery, her favourite fruit recipes, and her top 'Norfolk biffin'-making tips. orchardnotes.com/2023/09/19/orc… #orchardcookery #orchardhistory
The next batch of 'Brown Turkey' figs on our back garden tree are getting close to perfect ripeness. Just a few more days, with any luck 😋
What do you reckon @stewartwaine, could these goosegogs be 'Yellow Champagne'..? 🤔 They're very sweet and tasty when ripe, whatever they are 😋
Multiseeded leek modules planted in a rush before going on holiday, watered thrice and then left two weeks have taken well, just one module failed. Unlike last year they had some rain and no heatwave - last year’s leeks were lamentable. Next net against leaf miner. #allotment
How's this for a podful of perfection? Pea 'Hurst Greenshaft', ripe and ready on our #allotment yesterday. Absolutely delicious, both scoffed raw (frankly, I'm amazed any of them made it home at all) and mixed into a bowl of potato salad.
Time for the annual reminder that Top-Fruit Thinning Season is with us once again. Thinning-snips at the ready! Here's the post I wrote on the subject last year, with links to a few more on how to go about it, and the benefits of fruitlet thinning. orchardnotes.com/2022/06/04/top…

Not much beats the Japanese wineberry for being the prettiest of the Rubus clan , slightly sticky , mildly flavoured fruit , glowing berries and lovely canes
Gathering forced rhubarb for the spring markets in West Yorkshire's 'golden triangle', 1940s. The triangle is the centre of the world for rhubarb, bordered by Leeds, Wakefield and Bradford. In 2010 Yorkshire Forced Rhubarb was awarded Protected Designation of Origin status.
Apple buds are starting to waken from dormancy, so I thought it might be a good time to re-post my photo-series showing the growth and development of a single 'Herefordshire Russet': 'Lifecycle of an Apple, From Bud to Blossom to Fruit' orchardnotes.com/2023/03/28/lif…

Enjoyed a session of cordon work at the #allotment today: pruning, re-wiring, tying in, feeding, mulching. Fingers crossed for healthy fruit bud development and tasty #apples to follow.
Modest medlar crop from my little tree (and who needs more?) I rather like them - they are bletting (going soft and over-ripe and therefore edible) on the side tree, tasting like a big mushy hawthorn berry. Worth growing for spring flowers alone of course.
So. A thing that happened yesterday, for the first time since 2020: I found 'Norfolk Beefing apples for sale. As a result, today and into the next three days, I am attempting to make my first ever batch of Norfolk Biffins. This is very exciting. Very exciting indeed.
Looks like our #medlars are now nicely bletted. In our house that can only mean one thing... It's medlar-cheese-making time! And tomorrow... It's medlar-jelly-making time! 😁😋
Pêche de vigne "sanguine vineuse" I didn't realise it was a red fleshed peach! What a lovely surprise when I cut into it. 🙂

For over 14 years, this massive old oak has been one of the most special trees in the woods for me, projecting horizontally from a bank of rock + earth. Y'day I found it has now crashed to the ground, the tremendous pressure on its roots evidently having reached a tipping point.

I've been e-chatting to Suffolk-based cook and food historian Monica Askay, about her keen interest in heritage orchards and historical cookery, her favourite fruit recipes, and her top 'Norfolk biffin'-making tips. orchardnotes.com/2023/09/19/orc… #orchardcookery #orchardhistory
Would you just look at this thing of fruity beauty!
@OrchardNotes @BarMas Great for coloured jams. Also different coloured plum gin. I’ve also used them for a cake or tart decoration and clafoutis. There are a host of mirabelle plum recipes on the internet and you can substitute cherry plums for most.
