Do you have any blossom on your Victoria plum?
I have a few on the "new" one, nothing to get excited about. The older one is just leaf. No blossom at all. Baz |

Baz Ours is a few years old, and espalier trained. It has lots of blossom - or it did have before today's windy weather. -- Spider from high ground in SE London gardening on clay |

Neighbours and most flowering cherry are out now - just in perfect time to get hammered by the gale force winds :( My Japanese pear is also out. Sloes more or less over. No trace of any apple blossom as yet. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

Baz The buds are still breaking into leaf; no sign of any blossom yet. But if you recall it was a late starter this year. Apples all seem to be catching up now except for a Braeburn which has lots of leaf but not the slightest sign of blossom buds. It didn't do anything last year either. I may designate it a waste of space as it only produced one apple the year before last! -- Cheers, Jake ======================================= Urgling from the East end of Swansea Bay where it's May and I'm worried about minus zero temperaturess forecast |

Nashi pear? One of ours has been in flower for almost two weeks. The other has no blossom and has only just come into leaf. Yes. Spring is much delayed this year in the UK... Swallows and housemartins only arrived this week. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

I have only seen one swallow so far this year and that was on Monday, the same day that I heard a cuckoo. Funnily enough the cuckoo arrived early here along with the curlew about 4-6 weeks ago. Both obvious by their well known calls. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

Swallows and housemartins only arrived this week. I have only seen one swallow so far this year and that was on Monday, the same day that I heard a cuckoo. Strange, I have only seen 1 swallow here so far, but visiting a local firm based on an old farm last week the swallows were skimming around the yard, and I was told they had been there for almost 3 weeks. |

Round here the farm ones do arrive about a week and a half earlier. I guess they know that there are a lot more flies in the farmyard. I have always assumed that they follow the food back up north. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

Plenty of swallows here, Adele won't leave the kitchen door open! The cat is a great one for birds and mice outside, but in the house they just don't appear to have the same savour... -- Gardening in Lower Normandy |

It's a long term thing, isn't it, with fruit trees. Good luck, Jake. Baz |
