Incredibly Thursday was a fairly wet day for us with 7.2mm of rain falling overnight. Even with the cloudy conditions the temperature fell back into single figures. It brightened up in the morning to leave us with a warm and sunny afternoon.
We could resist the temptation no longer. One of our prize nectarines looked to be getting some mouldy spots so we decided it was time to test out the crop.
The nectarines still look more like peaches having a slightly furry skin rather than the smooth skin I associate with a nectarine. The fruits had a lovely sweet smell but were still firm. Their taste was delicious better than anything bought from the supermarket. So I'm not sure whether our tree is a peach or a nectarine. I’m not bothered with fruit of this quality. I never really expected to be able to produce any worthwhile fruits so these delicious peaches/nectarines were a real bonus.
