This years fruit performance.
"mark" wrote in message o.uk... 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? mark No fruit trees in my garden but next door's Plum, Apple and Cherry trees are quite bare of fruit. In my garden: Raspberries, now fruiting well after a slow start. Blackberry (only one bush), very promising for a bumper crop with lots of unripe fruit and loads more flower buds still to open Loganberry, it's best year so far but not really worth the bother. Rhubarb, both plants doing really well, shall start freezing it as I'm a bit fed up with crumble now, lol! Kiwi, has lots of fruit but I'm not sure if they will ripen because according to everything I've read about growing them I'm doing everything wrong!!! Blueberry, absolutely nothing this year. Tomatoes, very poor about ten fruit on 24 plants though the greenhouse ones are doing better now. Slugs and snails, bl**dy millions of them, they've demolished my Beans and Broccoli, a couple of Dahlias, nearly all the French Marigolds I planted and my Hostas have more holes in their leaves than a colander....despite my resorting to using slug pellets and doing daily 'collections' of the slimy creatures. -- Shirley x http://community.webshots.com/user/s...host=community How you behave towards cats here below determines your status in Heaven. - Robert Heinlein |
