August fruit updates

10 comments


Thought it was about time I showed what the recent sun has helped move along

A juicy ripe fig, before the wasps arrived. I ate this an hour ago, the first of this year’s crop

This fig is probably ready tomorrow

My new grape, in a pot,not ready yet but plenty of time

My pot grown Stanley plums, nearly ripe, still hard

The red pears, I think not far off ripening

MY unknown variety apple, had it years, a lovely apple that ripens early next month

Cherry plum toms, saved seed ex Waitrose tomato

Balcony Yellow toms. Own saved seed

What a delicious looking garden Grandad g! My mouth is watering... what will you do with the grape when it gets too big for the pot?

Steragram, grape + pot, not really sure, it was a cheap impulse buy last year and I never really expected to have this problem so soon

A few years back I saw at RHS Wisley grapes in large pots where they had been trained round & up a kind of wigwam
However they are no longer at Wisley so unable to look closely at how this worked

The large pot & wigwam appeals, I think a bit of searching & You tubing may be may way ahead for next year

My young pear trees have been bursting with bright green shoots. I'm trying to prune for long term growth & good crops obviously. Should I snip the shoots off immediately or wait till Winter before pruning them out? They're not going to develop into fruit bearing branches...
