每年的九月和十月,在英國是蘋果的盛產季節。雖然老公替我在後園種下的兩株小蘋果樹今年還沒有甚麼收成,但本土的各處蘋果農塲,則享受著美好的大豐收。由於去年冬天的和暖,今年春季雨水的充分,這個夏天足夠的陽光,然後乾爽的九月,讓本地的蘋果可以比往年提前兩星期摘取。
British orchards are enjoying a bumper crop this season. The British apple harvest has begun two weeks early this year thanks to the last warm winter followed by plenty of sunshine and lots of rainfall this summer. A dry September allowed the picking to get started early.
