I've been picking a few off various bushes in the fields for a couple of weeks now. There are still bushed just developing fruits and even some flowers. Has anyone else noticed this or is it peculiar to this area this year? They do seem very early this year. We have a large crop of ripe brambles right now too - and they are too early to use with apples as the latter are slower than usual this season (as are the beans). My cultivated thornless (about 15 years old) are fruiting well - about 6lbs so far from one root. Timing is about the same as last year but the yield is slightly down as there was less new growth. I expect to be picking for about another week Malcolm on the South Coast close to Portsmouth |
