How long do popular varieties of apples last?
Popular apple varieties last anywhere from 1 to 6 months in cool storage.
• Early-Season Varieties (1 to 3 weeks): Varieties like Discovery, Katy, and Worcester Pearmain have a short shelf life, to be eaten quickly after picking.
• Mid-Season Varieties (2 to 4 months): Cultivars like Cox's Orange Pippin, Jonagold, and Gala keep well for a couple of months under cool conditions.
• Late-Season Varieties (4 to 6+ months): Long-keeping varieties like Granny Smith, Fuji, Braeburn, and Bramley's Seedling can last well into the new year if stored correctly.

Milipedes in an apple. They do not have strong enough mouthparts to chew through a healthy, intact apple; they usually move in to feed only after another pest (like a slug or worm) or splitting has already damaged the fruit. But they are a wonderful recyclers, they feed on dead leaves, rotting wood, and other decaying plant material, turning waste into rich, usable organic matter.Their waste (castings) adds vital nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus back into the dirt and their gentle burrowing helps loosen the soil, which improves water drainage and lets air reach plant roots. by @growveg

Fibonacci Spirals: The sunflower seeds grow in a stunning mathematical pattern of overlapping spirals curving out from the center. This design packs the maximum number of seeds tightly into the available space. Each year I get mesmerised by the beauty and efficiency. by @growveg

Celery, not just a quiet member of the salad gang....😉
• Celery can be used as insect repellent, a solution of leaves can repel mosquitos.
• Planting celery near companion herbs dill or basil can naturally repel aphids and spider mites.
• Celery is a hydrating vegetable packed with vitamin K, antioxidants, and fibre.

Amaranthus ‘Coral Fountain’ a striking, half-hardy annual plant featuring long, cascading tassels of soft, dusty coral-pink flowers. Easy to grow, eye-catching Amaranthus is both ornamental and edible. Excellent as a fresh cut flower (with a vase life of 7 to 10 days) or dried for winter arrangements. by @growveg

Everlasting flower, these flowers dry naturally on the plant while retaining their colour, and although they won’t truly last forever, you can expect them to look good in an arrangement for at least a couple of years.

Prepare them by bunching no more than 10 stems (to ensure good airflow), removing unwanted foliage, and then hanging upside down in a dark area at room temperature. Leave for two to three weeks to fully dry out, then these long-lasting flowers will be ready to display in table arrangements, wedding posies or seasonal wreaths.
