apples

Wash your apples and eat them with the skin on as almost half the vitamin C content is just under the skin.
I have a slightly vested interest in the Bushey Grove apple trees planted in 2009 at the Chorleywood community orchard. I live in Bushey, and Bushey Grove is the name of a local area. Although Bushey Grove has been classified as a cooking apple, I will be eating it raw when it becomes available! Meanwhile, a few miles walk from the orchard, along the beautiful Chess valley, takes me to the watercress beds where I can buy beautiful fresh watercress.
