Rainfall, in quantity, has featured during the first week of this month. We will see an indication of how things are deeper underfoot when wormcasts are once again evident, soon hopefully.

Just a few hours of picking left to do of the latest varieties. All the perfect (also the not so perfect)  fruit is sold, so no further orders for any apples can be accepted.

I expect to pick the Medlars towards the end of this month  – we did have a considerable frost here on the morning of 3rd October.
