Just a shame we gotta wait a bit longer before the 1st ones are ready

Not in my family's orchard it didn't. All the blossoms came out late and all at once and didn't last long enough in the heat to pollinate properly, so we have very few apples on the trees.

Does your family make any money from this orchard or do they just have it for pleasure purposes like most people have plain old gardens for?

There are a couple of apple trees I walk past while walking the dogs and they're bursting with fruit. I'll definitely be plucking some of those when the time is right to put in a crumble.
