Pollination, when we cross pollen from selected varieties onto flowers of desired mother trees.
Being stuck inside for too long during winter, like the variety of having different tasks, both inside and outside.
Fruit tasting assessments, eating apples that have been in storage for 10 weeks to see if they taste any good for further study.
With the help from our casual workers just completed seed sowing of 75,000 apple seeds.
I forgot to turn off the watering system in the glasshouse on a day when assessments were being done. Everyone had to wear gumboots and sludge around in a slippery room while measuring plants. I learnt to make sure the watering is OFF before doing any glasshouse work, otherwise it can be very messy and slow work.
Masters of Science (Genetics).
