Excuse me, but I am closing in on a minor milestone: 300 unique apples reviewed on this site.
So far this year I have had, I think, 11 varieties for the first time, with a few more in the wings.
That may not be gangbusters, exactly, but is still moderately encouraging after 2018's bust year of just 3 new varieties.
Will there be more? Stay tuned!
Thanks to MGosv1830 for making this image available.
Food for the man. The Only Food, no one like Apples!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! Keep up the good work Adam. I've enjoyed reading your posts and reviews the last few years.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Holly ! & alessandro. It's been fun—and tasty!
DeleteOnly about 7200 varieties left to go, give or take.
ReplyDeleteAt an apple a day, I should have the whole thing wrapped up in 20 years.
DeleteAdam, I've been on Orange Pippin about 6 years. Your site is really clean, accessible with generally accurate photographs.Descriptions are thoroughly delightful. Is embedding links to your photos appropriate or should I download the photo and embed that way?.
ReplyDeleteHello, Gill. That is an impressive list of budwod you have there!
DeleteI am pretty territorial about my photos, if you are talking about using them on another website such as Orange Pippin. We should discuss this offline. I have sent you a note at your contact email; if this misfires, please write to me at mine.
Belated congratulations. 300 is an achievement. I’m still adding apple varieties to the Sage Hen Farm orchard, and I do come back to this site to check on reviews of potential new acquisitions.
ReplyDeleteThank you, John, it is great to hear from you! Q: Do you also revise your website with the new varieties?
DeleteI do – not always very timely, but it is pretty up-to-date now.
