Oyster stout

Thursday, March 25th, 2010

Doesn’t taste of oysters though. Joke, joke: oyster stout is traditionally enjoyed with oysters (from the River Thames back when that was safe to do).

James Grieve apple tree

As well as our cherry tree I also bought an apple tree of the James Grieve variety. Wikipedia says:

This is a savoury, juicy apple with strong acidity at first, which then mellows as the fruit matures during September, but the flesh softens soon thereafter. When picked early, it makes a sweet and delicate stewed apple, but then can be used as a dessert apple. [...] James Grieve is a very good apple because it produces fruit every year, is somewhat disease-resistant, and a very good pollenizer for other apples. It may drop early in warm weather. It is also a good apple for making apple juice.

We’re going to plant both of them at the bottom of the garden.
