The crab apple on the village green is in blossom. It was flowering when we came to view our cottage before we bought it. I look forward to it every year. It's alive with bees 🐝 #spring #bloomscrolling #trees #nature #Cornwall
@martwritesstuff lovely. I hope someone uses the apples when they appear. (Tip: easiest least time-consuming way to use them is pickled crabapples: wash them, remove stalks, place in a jar with a vinegar-syrup mix, wait 6 months, enjoy.)
@martwritesstuff @SecularJeffrey Growing up, the crab apple tree in my backyard was loved by wasps and hornets and I had to go out and pick up those inedible rotted fruits as those wasps would frequently end up in the house. I felt like setting that tree on fire. So many apples. Nasty apples. #ptsd #traumatized #neveragain
