Visit to Baslow and Tideswell community orchards

On Sunday we had our regular three way orchard visit with Baslow and Tideswell community orchards. It's always interesting to visit other orchards, especially in the presence of such knowledgeable guides as we had on Sunday.

The Ellison's Orange apple trees in Baslow were in full flower; many trees have already blossomed with the warm, dry weather we've had so far this spring.
