Growing and processing _fruits of your own work_ as you might say feels very much different than taking shortcuts, like going to the grocery store is. It also has different results. Sometimes worse, but sometimes better. And together it all is worth a lot to some people.
I am fairly certain that you will hate me for this, but here in southern Germany we had an absolute excess of apples and pears produced in our garden trees - way more than we could ever consume or process for ourselfes, so about 1 cubic metre of that stuff landed on our compost.

Huh. We've had so many apples here in Finland that we almost had to physically stop our grandma from preserving them for winter because she was exhausting herself due to sheer amount of apples, she is too damn stubborn and frugal to simply stop and be content with a single freezer's worth. Yes we had to buy her a second freezer, none of us could had handled the fallout if we simply threw away that many baked apples. I love my granny but damn she is the most stubborn woman I have ever met.
Can confirm, eagerly anticipating fruit from fruit trees then getting none is a massive disappointment. Our cherry trees produce just enough for birds to decimate; the same goes for our peach and nectarine trees. We've tried netting but they always find a way inside. The apple trees, sadly, lose their flowers to intense spring winds (40mph+ are common where I live); those that survive also ultimately fall victim to birds. After a point we just started picking the damaged fruits and cutting the usable parts for ourselves; if you can't compete with nature, you have to adapt.
Back in May when my trees were covered in blossoms, a friend admired and said how many apples I was going to have. I merely said “maybe”. Forward to September and I have nothing. Nature hates an apple grower.
Chear up Lindy! You can buy some from the store... But hold the plastic bag! That might have something to do with your appleless trees... Now tell us something about leather working, horse harnesses, medieval chimny-sweeper-posing spies, dutch windmills, ancient south-american festivals... You're turning into my father, with your fruitless trees and yt channel, for God's sakes!
The year is 4,237 and you’re an info-archeologist. You stumble across this ancient piece. “What the hell is a bee?” “What the hell is an apple?” “Why does he seem upset that something of his _won’t_ crumble?”
File under "misery loves company". The Tree Rats (aka Squirrels) took ALL my immature peaches in one night as they say me come home with netting I was going to install the next day. Maybe you too have Rats with designer tails who likes some apples!
My deepest condolences Lloyd. My grandmothers apple tree on the other hand split in half from the weight of all the fruit. I've never seen so many on a single tree!
We have loads of them. It scares the crap out of me when one falls from the top of the tree onto my car in the middle of the night. Never mind the crumbles, I'm building a cider press...
Meanwhile, here I am, up to my knees in rotten apples fallen to the ground, trying to save the weedcutting robot from being buried underneath... The smell, my god, the smell. And the wasps.
yup i tried polinating with a paintbrush because the bees and hover flies were not awake thanks to cold wet weather but then lost many because the Jays are happy to start eating them before they ripen. We have mucked up the weather so we have only ourselves to blame if the insect population dies off and we starve. Did have a good crop of grapes though the black squirrel swiped the last bunch I was saveing leaving the stem with all it's terminals unberried
Good timing, I went to the freezer last night to get some juice and quartered apples to make jelly, only to find the freezer went kaput a week or two ago. About 90 kg of apples lost 😢
My grandparents had around a dozen apple trees. My grandfather bought an old oak barrel, and filled it with cider to produce the Hard variety. He had a handyman who was a lush, who snuck down into the basement and drank the hard cider until he passed out. The next morning he crawled out hung over... and forgot to replace the bung in the barrel. So we had about 50 gallons of apple cider vinegar. Now THAT was a tragedy ;)

@@radimnechut519 I only jest.
Uk has lost 96% of flower meadows since WW2. This has had a massive effect on pollinators
what the hell did the Brits do this time?
I guess that's the way the apple crumbles.
It is. Some years a good crop. Some years hardly any.
I got only a few.
Have you tried turning it off and then on again?
Genuinely made me chuckle^^

Nice poem lindy and I hope your next go with apples is more....fruitful.
This is the first time I've felt equal to Lindy in all this time.
While he may have a fascinating life and excellent oratory, we both have no apples.

The apples will be here. The script just needs to be finalized for them first.

The chances of Lindy having even one apple tree are extremely low
I find it humours that the next video recommended to me was a recipe for an apple crisp. I guess TH-cam is really looking to troll the appleless.
This is appalling the bees must work harder and the rain must rain gently
Yes, we have no manzanas
Hang in there, mate! I haven't had a Thistly Cross hard cider since before the pandemic lockdowns!
I had a bumper crop of apples last year. This year I didn't get any either. I live in Canada.
I also have problems with my fruit trees.
Looks like you've forgotten the first rule of bullshit: there are no problems, only solutions.
Got no apples either this year.

Same here, in Wales 😥
Low apple count on our trees in Dortmund Germany as well. I call Global Conspiracy or Terrappleism

If there's no apples give them cake. Or something.
i have a bush we call it the bee bush because it hums with bees we are scared to walk by it, But this year it did not have one bee
No apple crumble is a fate worse than death
You here!
No apples is also a fate worse than dearth.
Because nothing is worse than death, and at the same time nothing is better than apple crumbles.
Hang in there. You can get through this.
I don't think 'Hang in there.' is a good advice for a man who is depressed about his apple tree.
@@smithjohn383 Could have used more appropriate words 🤭
Ok, I admit it. I stole all his apples. Looks like someone stole his marbles too.

“What the hell is a bee?”

“Why does he seem upset that something of his _won’t_ crumble?”
My Bramleys are doing well, but my apricots have fallen off, every bloody one.
Your sincerity apples me.
You're not the only one Lindy. Mine are the same, as are my partner's brother-in-law.

I know the feeling. I got four measly little apples this year--and, before they were ripe, the wildlife ate them. Damn it.
What you must do is anoint the ground at the base of your tree with squirrel tears and chicken poo.
Yep, bees are in short supply. They missed Lindys tree in his year.🐝❤️🤗
My deepest condolences Lloyd. My grandmothers apple tree on the other hand split in half from the weight of all the fruit. I've never seen so many on a single tree!
Great delivery.
"I'm afraid so... your entirely bonkers. But I'll tell you a secret... all the best people are."
Appleless behaviour
This one carries real vintage Lloyd vibes.
If this had been uploaded in 2014, nobody would question it.
take a bite of the apple to be appalled - or so the apple grumbles
Delightful!
This is a fitting conclusion to “Roman apple crumble!”

how do you like them apples?
Aaaa, Lindy. That apple tree in your yard is not a apple tree, it's a orange tree. The people have spoken. 🤣
When life gives you apples, make apple crumbles. When life doesn't give you apples, make bad poetry.
More about apple trees being lazy, insert bad apples pun here.
I had apples but no pears this year
If an apple tree has no apples, can it truly be called an apple tree?
Have to call it something

Are we not going to talk about the obvious solution of invading Gaul for their delicious, delicious poms?
Thank you.
As someone who can't conjure an apple, I felt this
I still can't get over how wrong that leaf was

Trim the growth in March. Then you'll get apples.
Someone sneak into his garden and hot glue some apples to the branches
We actually did that to one of the college teachers, though we used strings....

Such a performace!

Sorry about that, hopefully next year there will be more apples to make lots of happy crumbles with.
