Long-storing apples
I bagged up some apples tonight to put in a dead freezer, Bob Flowerdew
style. When I opened the freezer, I found a polybag with a festering
mush of two apples totally forgotten from last year and alongside the
mush one perfectly preserved apple labelled Idared.
I had read that Idared is about the longest storing apple and planted a
tree because of that. This confirms it rather splendidly. To keep to the
following Sept, nearly October, and in a polybag with two rotten apples
seems to me to be pretty amazing.
