Do you feed it at all?
If so, what with?

[brian c]

The grass still needs cutting

[johnc10]

...... and the hedge probably needs trimming by now as well Brian

[Pilot]

No the hedge is OK its stopped growing for the year, the grass yes, I need a good dry spell after the apples stop falling thats my excuse anyway

Hi Pilot, how you doing?.....I trust no achy bones this week......ahh!! with my achy knees I blame the damp and cold in the north east. Like you I have apple tree in my garden but for the past few years the crop has been poor.....so the birds get a good feed.
Just had a go (first time)....posting some holiday pics on site....fingers crossed I have done it properly....In time I will post a few of my garden....cheers blessings Rainbow

[Pilot]

Hi Rainbow, I'm fine just now thanks, our apple tree had a bumper crop this year I think its due to a wet summer, we had the last of the apples about a week ago, gave loads away to neighbours who turn them into some sort of liquor.

Where is the Apple Tree photo for the 7th November?

[Pilot]

Had to rush away a few days ago mermaid only got back last night so i will have to cheat by a few days this month and take one tomorrow, family illness in the midlands.

[Bushmermaid]

I'm sorry to hear that Pilot.
A family crisis is much more important than an apple tree.
I hope things get better for you and your family.

Here at last, picture taken on 10th a few days late.

[brian c]

Still haven't cut the grass I see

[johnc10]

The hedges look ok though

Still haven't cut the grass I see

Brian it is a well known fact you should never cut grass too short because it needs more watering and can't withstand hot sun as easily. Pilot is simply looking after the interests of his lawn.

What a shock that tree is.. what a difference a month makes. I am sure last time it was brim full of apples and now it looks like it is on the downward trend towards winter.
Hope your family is okay now, pilot.

[Pilot]

Still a very worrying time Sherri, my sister is very poorly in intensive care.

[freon]

Thats an active tree pilot and looks like it needs a good pruning
cheers
