Are you sure that's wise?
You'd be FAR better off with a proper Mini. (Not the excrescence that is currently being sold under the Mini name)

I've never been wise when it comes to cars, I've had Mini's hate them with a passion, cannot stand driving the boat anchor of an engine. My buggy started off with an A series, but it now runs a lovely injected K series. I've had 3 Beetles in the past but never had 1 on the road, something has always come along to make me sell them before I got them onto it.

Hello fellow Mundanites! This should be suitably Mundane...

It is not windy and it is not raining, the lull before...

Depends on what varieties you bought, and whether you've got the right pollinators in the area.

Basically one of each. Discovery, Golden Delicious, Jonagold & Cox's Orange Pippin

One of the folks that lives around the corner has had great success with Discovery or Golden Delicious and he makes some delicious apple pies.

'Giant' buckets are a little small, but its only temporary.


I guess i should read up on how to make your own cider.

I also like to note - Thanks to our Lavender plants that dominated our front yard. we regularly have a swarms of bees. So pollination shouldnt be a huge problem

A very close relative of mine died today. She was almost 93 years old.

Betelgeuse is looking even dimmer than it did six weeks ago!

I'm sorry to hear this. Condolences for your loss.

Thank you. She was the sun, the light, the love in all our lives. Ordinary woman with extraordinary heart and soul.

"When it does go supernova, it's expected to result in a dramatic light show that could be visible in daylight and appear brighter than the full moon for a few weeks. The last time humans were treated to such a sight was the 17th century."

I would hardly say that the engine in mine is a boat anchor...

I have had all four of those varieties in my orchard. Discovery is an early, the other three are mid-season apples. I now only have Jonagold, James Grieve, Granny Smith and Bramley now.

Discovery and Cox are in the same pollination group - B, while Golden Delicious is in group C and Jonagold is in group CT. (A is the earliest to flower and D the latest.)

The T stands for triploid, which means that Jonagold needs two other varieties for pollination. Golden Delicious, as a parent of Jonagold, will not pollinate it. So expect your Jonagold to be unreliable unless there are crab apple trees in the area. Crab apples are really good general pollinators.

Those cannelloni were totally lush

And it's probably the only time any of us would watch Britain's Got Talent!
