Thursday was a big improvement as it didn’t rain. We had some sunny spells and it was a bit milder.
I’m sure it would be too wet to do much on the plot after all the rain so I decided to harvest the remaining apples on our trees at home. Our garden Bramley hasn’t produced at all this year but the Peasgood Nonsuch has managed a reasonable crop although smaller than usual.
This variety gives our Bramleys a run for their money as far as being a good cooking apple. They were certainly ready for picking almost falling of the trees as I touched the apples to pick them.
This year’s crop of apples is certainly much smaller than last year’s as shown in the comparison table below. The weather has a lot to answer for.
Also worthy of note today we picked our first ripe tomatoes from our home greenhouse. We do now have a few ripe tomatoes in this greenhouse and Alicante produced a nice punnet of fruit at last.

Glad to see that your patience has paid off with the tomatoes. It's raining here again. I was hoping for a dry day as the kids have gone off on a sponsored walk with school and they cross very muddy fields!
