Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Apple season is upon is in Harringay
From this week until May next year the apple trees of Harringay will begin to groan with fruit. A member wistfully bemoaned the lack of the big fat gooseberry in his life (a fate which I share), but how well off are we for apples?
I know of a few neighbours nearby to me who are lucky enough to have a tree (or even two!). What varieties do we grow here?
Is there anyone who has an apple or fruit tree and never uses the fruit? Shame to waste those fruit so good to munch, peel, and bake. What about a community forage/harvest so neighbours can share in Harringay's abundance? We've had Tottenham honey. What about Harringay chutney, crumble, pie, jelly or jam, apple juice or cider?
Those of you with trees, how about sharing a photo of your abundance with we fruitless neighbours? (And those of you without - time for some guerilla fruitography!)
If the idea of Harringay apples juss don't do it for ya, then you might think about taking a schlep out east and join in one of the apple days through the East of England Apple Project.

Great tool. Currently Harringay's fruitless! I guess we must have some blackberries along the New River?

I usually have plenty of surplus apples and would be happy to swap some for honey. It's a bit early for my crop unless you would like some hard, medium size Bramleys.

I have a few apple trees in my garden and I expect to turn most of them into juice and/or cider. Some early windfalls have already yielded up some fairly tart juice and I shall probably do some more on Saturday. However, I would expect the main crop (which will be Bramleys) to be a bit later, in September or October. I have recently acquired a suitable grater and a small apple press and it would be good to cooperate with neighbours who have surplus apples that need pressing. See attached images.
