The granny Smith crops heavily every other year. If it can grow here, I'm sure it will in Christchurch.<br />I'm on the look out for an old variey called Bramley..or something like that. It's a very good one for cooking.Corrinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00835431780884002644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717193444096849836.post-12791857326566687922010-07-19T21:17:03.199+12:002010-07-19T21:17:03.199+12:00Ugh, codling moth, that's something I haven...Ugh, codling moth, that's something I haven't thought much about. Still, I haven't had it on the ballerinas so hopefully it won't be a major problem.<br /><br />Homegrown fruit and veg always taste so much better, don't they?Ruth @ Camellia Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129384344777788376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717193444096849836.post-20073168297720654272010-07-19T03:06:29.161+12:002010-07-19T03:06:29.161+12:00....I forgot to metion an addition to our veg this.......I forgot to metion an addition to our veg this year. <br />As well as potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, courgettes, mange-tout, beans and chard, we have just started cropping beetroot, which is wonderful!

It's a pleasure to join you.<br />We don't have an apple as the one we did have had terrible problems, whatever we tried, with codling moth, as did the pear, so we gave those away.<br /><br />I may well try again though, with your fab-sounding 'Mother'.<br /><br />I do have two figs, a Kiwi, a plum, a cherry and an Olive, which all thrive, even here in England. <br />Hugs,<br />Ei<br />xEiglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01588023862867881851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8717193444096849836.post-60226394554245926322010-07-18T18:23:31.389+12:002010-07-18T18:23:31.389+12:00Tough choice as there are lots of apple varieties ...Tough choice as there are lots of apple varieties to chose from. We have about 20 but they haven't all starting producing yet. Last year we put in a Monty's Surprise, which sounds quite exciting. We did get quite a few off a young Freyburg tree, nice crisp yellowish green apples, but I'm not sure how well it would go in the S. Island.<br />Good luck choosing!Cabbage Tree Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035566919486082520noreply@blogger.com
