    No apples on any of the trees in the garden, nor any plums from either tree.
    Get yourself a beehive or two.

    (Though this year you would have been feeding them. )

            I must admit, 1 apple tree in our garden has had a good crop and that's why I feel duty-bound to make the most of it.

            I've even managed a bottle or 2 of apple vodka.

                Good crop of apples this year. I'll likely use about 1% for my own cooking and the rest will go to waste, can't give these things away.

                    Elderberry wine.
                    Blackberry wine.

                    Also 40 pints of velvet stout and 40 pints of winter warmer.

                    You've got whining down to a fine art. Must be the practice.
