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
Red currants: Much reduced crop
Strawberries: Disappointing, down by a half.


Slugs: bumper crop!


Anybody else experiencing similar?

Very weather related
One plum loaded as it flowered during a brief few days of fine weather the
Damson next to it flowered 10 days later and has hardly any fruit.

Gooseberries loaded , Blackcurrants hardly any
No straw berries at all
Loganberries good, Blackberry loaded
Pears poor, apples 50% poor 50% loaded
Medlar loaded, Quince almost none.

Don't mention Rhubarb, sick of the stuff, been pulling since late January
and its still huge
