Was wondering how your new Victoria plum is doing.
Mine has started to look much more healthy now the temperature has
increased. Still quite wet and soggy here.

It's looking just as expected. Growing nicely, holding at about 6 feet
tall but no fruit this year.

OTOH, enjoying strawberries and raspberries in abundance. Some
cherries though not many but again expected as the cherry was last
year a little twig that I'd got free from somewhere and didn't know
what it was until it fruited this year. The blackcurrants have been
disappointing though.

I think apples and pears will be a washout.

Oh yes! Was wondering why raspberries were disappearing from low down
on the canes. Not nibbled bits, fruits cleanly removed. The culprit is
resident cat! Always thought he was a bit of a fruit case!
