Hello,


Are you interested in local and rare* apples?

Or do you have an apple tree in your back garden in Dulwich and Peckham?


I'm planning to bring together anyone in our area interested in apples, particularly those fortunate enough to have an apple tree in their back garden. The idea is to cherish our apple heritage by sharing, comparing and celebrating either the different varieties grown right here in our corner of south east London, or rare varieties from elsewhere. It would be on a date in October, provisionally the 16th. If you're interested please send me a message.

*ie any but the very narrow selection of ever sweeter varieties found in supermarkets.

A bit of a thread hijack - but if anyone (additionally) has grape vines which are productive there is a South London company which will (with those of others) create a wine - you get bottles of wine in relation to the weight of grapes offered http://m.urbanwineco.co.uk/ - the wine they produce each year is (ironically) named Chateau Tooting but differs each year as the grapes and quantities offered differ.

Well, theres a couple of websites that help here: http://www.applename.com/id.aspx here: http://www.fruitid.com/#identification/1 and here: http://www.gardenappleid.co.uk


Or if you're keen to come on the 16th I've a big book of varieties that we could use to have a go. Let me know.

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
