My OH tried wine making one year it was awful I'm not going to all that trouble to pour it down the sink Lol ...

No, dont blame you. Our cider is OK, but not wonderful. Next time I will only use the good apples!

I hope you're successful Karen , I lived in Hereford years ago Bulmers Cider county it seemed everybody drank cider there I'm not a fan myself , You're probably right 3p I'm afraid I leave this one to do its own thing its far to high up for me to reach ....

Yes they can get big I had one but it ended up being dug up.

They are a lot of work if you want nice fruit to eat.
Last week I watched Monty Don thinning his bunches out with those nose-hair trimming scissors.
Mine in conservatory always went mouldy.

We took our grape vines down, they were such hard work, for very little reward....and OH could do without the ladder climbing.....
