A couple of new links

I know I haven't been terribly prolific around here lately, but here's a few little tidbits to tide you over a while longer.

First, there's Fruit Forum. A friend recommended this site a few weeks ago, and I keep meaning to post it. This is the site of Joan Morgan, a prominent figure in British fruit circles, and author of the book The New Book of Apples and The Book of Apple. In some ways it's a site a bit like this one, but with a little more question and answer going on, and a slightly more activist bent (she's quite active in opposing the movement of the Brogdale apple collection, for example). I also found it vaguely amusing that while here we have the Fruit Blog Forum, her site has the Fruit Forum Blog.


Also, I came across another fruit site with a British bent while Googling a while ago, and was pleasantly surprised: Orange Pippin. A nice set of apple related links, and a large (though not the largest I've seen) collection of variety description, with nice photos of the fruit.
