We had a good gathering last week with much enjoyable tasting. Visitors went home with over 15lbs of damsons and a few each of Fiesta, Katy (all gone now) and Bountiful (a cooker) We were also able to take home 3 perfect Beth pears…..these have to be picked and eaten at home when fully ripe.
This Saturday (24 September) there will be plenty of Bramley Seedling (we are going to use our fancy new ladder) and some Lord Lambourne, Ellison’s Orange and some Sunset. The Herefordshire Russets and Newton Wonder (cooker) are later so we should be picking those in early October. Sadly the Laxton Superb have not done well, but on the whole I am pleased with the crop now the fruit are maturing. The Buerre Hardy pears will be ready to harvest in a couple of weeks.
We’ll be at the Orchard from 2.30 to about 4pm so do come along to see how YOUR Orchard is doing.
Teas/coffee/fruit juice and APPLE CAKE!
Looking forward to seeing lots of you there
Helen and the Orchard TEAM
