The Victoria plums are nearly ripe. We have already had one or two. Sadly despite the fantastic blossom we had the tree has not looked very healthy since then. It has struggled on to produce its fruit but I fear that we may be about to lose our tree.
Meanwhile the apple trees look more healthy with a good crop of Bramleys.
Then eating apples that are ready.
Including the Katy apples.
I have been round picking some to keep us going!
Freshly picked apple anyone?

looking very bountiful. I keep checking my apples but not ripe yet
ReplyDeleteApples look lovely but it seems early? Shame about your plum tree, nothing like Victoria plums fresh from the tree!
ReplyDeleteThe Katy apples are always earlier. The Bramleys are not ready yet.
DeleteBring on the crumble (and the earlier the better)
ReplyDeleteApple picking is a big event in our part of the world although most of the eating apples are ripe towards the end of September. There are several large "self pick" farms around and their biggest weekends are usually at Thanksgiving (October). There something so lovely about apple blossoms and then apple fruit.
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your fruits of the field and garden, I am looking forward to my autumn raspberries now that the summer ones are finished.
