I don't know if it can be blamed on the weather but here's my report:

Pear trees (2): Hardly any pears
Plum trees (3): Hardly any plums
Apples: Doing okay


That was probably the late frost. Apples flower later. I don't
know about pears.

Red currants: Much reduced crop


Mine were good - no blackcurrants, though.

Strawberries: Disappointing, down by a half.


Mine were OK, but a bit watery and slug-ridden.
