Apple & other fruits
Just ate the first apple. The early eating apple tree has again not done well this year, but now we've cleared around it, it is looking happier: I'm hopeful that next year it will do better. It would probably like a mulch of compost.

I've cut back the fig too, but that is covered in figlets, some of them quite big, so it's just a matter of cutting back the leaves from shading them.
This robin came and watched me cutting things back:
