Plums

All four of the minarette fruit trees in the chicken run have fruited this year, for the first time. Today it was time to harvest the plums (the variety is Blue Tit). That’s the entire harvest, but it is exciting none the less.

The Summer Sun cherries have long since been eaten by the starlings. The Saturn apples will be ready in late September; apparently I have to wait until early October to harvest the Concorde pears.


Crab Apples

Also new this year are the John Downie crab apples, which should also be ready for picking in October :)
