21 October is Apple Day!
The essential Apple Day message is to look after the apples growing in our gardens, to ask for local varieties by name when shopping, to consider saving an endangered orchard, and to plan and plant local varieties of fruit in new community orchards where customs such as bobbing for apples and wassailing might be revived, and tasks such as pruning might be shared. As Clifford puts it: “The survival of diversity and locality lies in our hands. We are all implicated.” In other words, if we do not take care, the quirky, the vernacular, the particular will be crushed under the jackboot of monoculture and homogenisation"
