BLOSSOM TIME 2017

We enjoyed seeing visitors at the Orchard on Saturday 
6 May to celebrate this year’s blossom. Sadly the recent frost may have taken its toll…..but it’s too early still to know…..however the Mirabelle have set well and there are some damsons too. The pear blossom was magnificent but the set not so good ……however we shall see how it all develops. I am definitely putting my money on a good crop of sunset apples…..their blossom was the best ever as you can see in the picture.
The trees are benefiting for the reduction of the tree guards…..although the deer continue nibbling in a minimal way……hurrah for the wildlife!
