Victoria plums are now in excellent condition for picking, and should run to the end of the month. Other plum varieties are very disappointing this year, and our total crop will be only 15% of last year.... but it is our supermarket customers rather than pick your own customers who will go short!
 
Damsons will be short for everyone.
 
Apples are a happier story with plenty of Estival (our most popular eater) and Bramley at the moment and the keeping varieties such as Cox in September, when the pears will also be ready for picking.
 
Cobnuts will also be good for picking over the next month.
 
No late strawberries this year, but the autumn raspberries and blackberries are cropping more heavily than ever, so if you did not fill your freezer earlier there is still time
