Mid-August. Traditionally, the first apple available at the start of the season. Small/medium fruit, attractive red stripes over green/yellow base. Flavour is distinct, pleasant but not always very sweet. The Anarkali Indian Restaurant is a well-established restaurant based on Roundhill Road, in Haslingden with beautiful over-looking countryside views.

These very typical New Zealand fruit were inherited from our British settler past and they thrive on the West Coast, especially if you have the canny, green-fingered talents of a retiree and treat them with the attention they crave. You can bonsai them in individual pots – large if possible to retain water and well mulched for summer – so they are mobile and you gain better positions in the sun for ripening fruit. If well-fed, those green bullets do indeed swell and ripen to red, orange, or even purple berries, bursting with tart (but not sour), ripe goodness in summer. Speak to them, tell them stories, sing to them, etc. A gramophone will suffice. Course director Simon Thelwell said: “The transition to more sustainable food production is a significant change for many farmers, so understanding these issues, identifying the opportunities they present and being prepared to make changes is the key focus of the course and we’re delighted to welcome our learners from across the industry and across the UK.

One of the school’s core purposes is to develop new talent in the agri-food sector and develop knowledge of sustainable food supply. That knowledge sharing will be critical, and we hope that this group of learners will go on to continue disseminating what they gain here even further through the industry.” About Wadworth: Wadworth is an independent family brewer and regional pub operator, very proud of its West Country roots. Founded by Henry A Wadworth, the business passed to his founding partner John Smith Bartholomew and is now in the fourth-generation of ownership by the Bartholomew family. Wadworth has created original beers at its brewery in Devizes, Wiltshire since 1875 and is one of the few remaining family brewers to deliver to the local area using shire horses. It also has a 200-strong pub estate and works hard with its business partners and managers to ensure that the pubs offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere, quality food and drink and excellent accommodation to make their customers’ days.

The main disadvantage of these plants is that they are very thorny, similar in shape and pointedness to the native matagouri or ‘wild Irishman’ scrub so you will get many a punctured finger trimming twigs and opening up the bushes with secateurs. This kind of pruning is a good idea though for helping the fruit to bask in those valuable sugar-yielding solar rays. October to December. Small to medium apple, well-known in Victorian times. Well-flavoured, slightly tannic flesh (has been used for Cider making in the past). Reliable.Birds can be a problem so hang up old CDs and build elaborate scarecrows with battery timers and big hats. Net the bushes if desperate. There were some good points - the food was beautifully presented, my salmon was in a delicious sauce, (would have liked more of this sauce) and the waiter there when we needed him but not over attentive

Now since Christmas day i believe business hasnt been good and now they are closing down! Others walked out on the day aswell. Shouting and swearing was heard coming from the kitchen and the waiting on staff were left in tears. No wonder. If they ever read this i hope they feel bad for spoiling our day and will admit to themselves that they let us all down that day. We were all extremely upset and disapointed and it ruined our day. We had gone there to relax and it was the most stressful day we had ever had. The first cohort of around 75 learners gathered for their first in-person event on the university’s campus near Newport, marking the start of a nine-month course. Wadworth’s brewery team brew a core range of beers and a minimum of eight seasonal beers a year. Farmer’s Glory has stood the test of time and remains the only one to be brewed every August in readiness for the harvest. It will be available in pubs as cask ale throughout September.Early October to November. Medium to large, slightly russeted fruit with distinct eye and flattened shape. Flesh is crisp, holds shape well in cooking. Can also be used as a sharp eater, especially as season progresses. Healthy and reliable, vigorous tree. Recommended. Our restaurant has recently undergone a full refurbishment, and now offers a modern, cozy and comfortable environment for you to come and enjoy our fine Indian dining experience. We offer a wide variety of dishes on our menu and cater for all, from small to large parties, to weddings and any special occasion.

Mid September to late October.Medium-large round, pale yellow fruit with pleasant aroma.Flesh is sharp/sweet, and holds shape well in cooking. Once a popular apple in the Tweedside orchards of Scotland. Another wonderful Victorian apple, lightly russeted and with excellent flavour. Mid-season apple, keeps well. Mid-August. Small, yellow/red apple with intensejuicyflavour. Skin can be affected by scab, but flavourunimpaired. Well-known russet apple, widely available commercially in season. Alas, originates from Lord Egremont's estate in Sussex, rather than from the West Cumbrian town. Medium fruit, russetted with yellow/green skin and dry, white flesh. At its best, flavour is delicious, nutty. In recent years we have had excellent crops of high quality apples, but the trees took a long time to come fully into production. Flesh is white, crisp, juicy.Flesh can be tinted pink when fully ripe (like the others on this list, it will ripen in the fruit bowl).

Mid-late September. Dark, crimson apple with distinctive ribbed shape. Can suffer from superficial scab damage to skin. The inaugural cohort will take part in further in-person teaching, blended with online sessions throughout the nine months. Last week’s event heard from industry experts and fellow farmers who are already on the sustainability journey, with farmers taking part in networking and focused break-out sessions.
