August Update

A most timely appreciable rain should now bring our fruit along.

Discovery apples and Victoria plums, hitherto somewhat sluggish in their final ripening, should be available  around 27th August onwards.

We have an assortment of odd early apple varieties in our shed for immediate consumption and the White Transparent cooking apples are shortly to be succeeded by Arthur Turner – a good all round cooker/ baker.

In addition to Victoria , Belle de Louvain plums will be around for this coming week.

Some of you have already found onions, garlic,sweet corn and turnips in addition to our usual beetroot and round French beans.

Before apple picking gets underway our autumn and winter cabbages have to be planted.

Packs of apples and/or mixed produce  – all grown here – are now distributed to addresses sprinkled throughout the UK .
