Strawberry. |
I thought I would share with you today how all the fruit trees and bushes are doing before are all the fruit has passed us by.
grapevines with grapes |
Raspberries caught me a little by surprise as they usually fruit a lot later than this. |
green gooseberries |
red gooseberries |
Blueberries |
redcurrants |
white-currants |
blackcurrants |
blackberries |
Bramley apple |
elspan apple |
conference pear.. only one this year!! |
Lingonberry |
cranberry |
So even though the harvest has been pretty poor this year at least something is liking the weather!!

Oh boy, look at all the fruit and berries. That strawberry is looking pretty delicious
ReplyDeleteThe strawberries were great Ann...just about all gone now though :-(
Deletewonderful photos---my son's raspberries were early too and beautiful :)
ReplyDeleteI didn't even realise I had raspberries so quite a few got left to go mouldy on the canes...I will know to check in future!
DeleteNot a good year for fruit at all for me. The late frost killed off the tree blossom so the apple, pear and cherry trees are bereft of fruit. The fruit bushes are not doing much better either.
ReplyDeleteGood to see that you have some fruit at least!
My fruit trees aren't great wither Mark...I think maybe the placement of my bushes afforded them some protection from those late frosts as other people on pour allotments haven't had as much as me.
Deletegood for you..those strawberries would not last long here! I have never had luck with grapes....someday i'll try again..
ReplyDeleteThis is the first year i have ever had fruit appear on my grapevines...we just have to see if they actually turn into anything edible.
DeleteI'm hoping our strawberries buck up now it's stopped raining - but will it start again. I'll be interested in hearing how you like the lingonberries.
ReplyDeleteI first had Lingonberries in Sweden years ago Sue. As a stand alone fruit I don't think much to them but they grate carrot and mix them in...it's kind of peculiar but it works...just hope I get enough fruit to do it...they are very small bushes of a year old.
DeleteI just planted my black berries and Blueberries this past spring . Hopefully I will get some yummy fruit next yr!
ReplyDeleteYou will definitely get blackberries next year...might have to wait another year for your blueberries though...fingers crossed that you get something next year though.
Deletelooking good (and so tidy!)
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what you can block out with those close up shots...lol
DeleteDear Tanya,
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful fruits! You must have been very busy nurturing these babies.
Thank you so much for your kind comments about my RFW-story. I have revised it a little and made it longer. I think you are right, I should try to be kinder to Jenny.
Take a look here:
Three things I could have done better
Best wishes & hugs,

I have to admit to being a bit of a 'let it get on with it' gardener and letting nature take it's natural course although I do like to give the bushes a good pruning every so often so that they have chance to rest for a while which after such a good harvest I will be doing this year.
