Mid year update

A few, fresher, days to end June are most welcome after the long period of sunshine and the good growing temperatures which matched, nicely, the earlier rainfall. The  3.5m well on the premises still measures a level of 1.3m – not bad for here at the end of June.

The June drop is in progress. Some breezy days will help shake off the failing fruits.

The chilly winds after blossom have left our quince trees without fruit, most have fallen off, as with the cherries, also. Plums are looking fine. To date we have not seen any hail stones here

At the moment, those of you local to Crapes will find  Raspberries, Apple Juice and the beginnings of our new season vegetables. We are again delivering whatever is available around Colchester each Friday.

Should have news of the first plums come mid July!
