Reasonably... much more prepared this year than the previous couple years as I have the hothouse, shade house and open veggie garden areas all established. Still need a dedicated propagation area though, tired of trying to raise seedlings on an ad-hoc basis. Planted a few more fruit trees this week, all apples this time - Bramley and three other cider apples (exact varieties escape me ATM). That makes about 36 fruits trees in the orchard now. I hope we (here in TAS) don't have another odd spring, summer and autumn... it was quite mild last year and did strange things to some crops. Already many trees here are budding, which is a little early once again. Hmm. |

That's my estimate as to when my prunus blieriana will start flowering. ;-) For years I've checked up on a particular prunus on a road I travel sometimes each winter. For about 30 years this particular tree has always flowered at least 2 months before the warm weather arrives. I always look out for it when I'm driving down that road and it never fails to cheer me up when I see it in bloom. Do you start planting when your prunus flowers or do you still ahve to wait a few weeks? Despite 1/9 supposedly being 'Spring',I know that there is no way I can plant anything I please just because the date tells me it's spring - 1/10 is more like the real time I can plant with any degree of certainty. |

I had a Bramley in my last garden that I managed to half "prune" with a particularly large bonfire. It wasn't as bad as I expected as the tree went from producing every 2 years to producing every year but on separate halves. If I left the apples on long enough they became about as round as a large saucer, floury and sweet enough to eat. picked smaller they were/are the best cooking apples around. Mike |

That's interesting about the change in bienneal bearing. We do get enough chilling to grow good apples here, but I havent' yet got a Bramley. Possibly too late to do so this year, but I might put in a request for one or more with He Who Likes To Be Obeyed. |

I have a propogating area, but it's not quite as I'd like ti to be - still some more improvements/refinements needed. Snails, slugs and frost have taken a toll on many of my seed raising attempts, best place I currently have is a mini-hothouse up on the rear verandah. Does okay but not much good for large quantities. So a dedicated propagation house is in order, I'll probably clad it in laserlite and put it between the shade and hot houses. Planted a few more fruit trees this week, all apples this time - Bramley and three other cider apples (exact varieties escape me ATM). That makes about 36 fruits trees in the orchard now.

He's also into cider apples and has piqued my interest in them too. LOL, one of my nearby neighbours refers to me a 'Hugh'. I pretty much grow and cook the same things as he does. So now I have a Bramley and two Granny Smiths - should take care of my cooking apples needs. I'm also into cider making (hence the cider trees) , I quickly realised any/all cider kits left much to be desired and that you can't beat cider made from fresh, local apples. I've learnt that higher alcohol by volume isn't necessarily such a good idea, my batches from last year average 12% and any more than a couple of stubbies is usually too much for me... I actually _don't_ enjoy getting ****ed even though I do like to drink :) I make beer and spirits also, and other stuff like cherry wine, ginger beer and perry. Although this year I've been concentrating on making mead, which is a much longer term proposition - and considerably more expensive. My last 30L batch using local Leatherwood honey cost me about $80... now I just have to wait a couple of years... I'm going to need a pot still soon, as I especially want to make apple cider brandy and cherry brandy. Also want to put through some alcoholic ginger beer and see what happens. And of course, some spiced mead liqueur once she's aged enough... yum. Although I have a still, its a conventional type which means that it'll strip any colour, smell and flavor from anything put through it, a pot still doesn't do that, hence the need for a pot still. We ahd a fantastic year for pears this year and the chooks have only just finished cleanign up the drop from under our last netted tree. Watching the rooster 'telling' the girls about the where they could find the best bits of pear was wonderful to watch. He's such a lovely rooster and worth every penny of his high price tag. Lucky you - my oldest fruit trees are only about 3 years old, though the cherries, prunes and quinces have fruited surprisingly well already. I hope we (here in TAS) don't have another odd spring, summer and autumn... it was quite mild last year and did strange things to some crops. Already many trees here are budding, which is a little early once again. Hmm. That does sound early. I can't see any signs of budding yet, but I'll now pay closer attention. We've had a mild winter really (by local standards), had a few -6's with hard frost but nothing like 2008 and '09. I hope we don't have another mild spring/summer/autumn again, nice weather for humans but not so great for flowering and fruiting plants. |

Basically, with a pot still (used in Cognac), the first and last over (heads & tails) is discarded. This distillation is done 2 or 3 times. With a continuous still (coffee still?) a thermometer is set into a column above the liquid being distilled, just adjacent to the discharge to the cooling coil. IIRC about 201 F (94 C) is where you should start taking your cut. Very volitile substance will exit the top of the column, and less volitile substances will re-condense and and fall back into the boiling chamber.
