A fruit salad - in pictures ..

Here's some pictures of the fruit growing in our garden - looks like it could be a bumper crop this year ...

first ever pears developing on our young trees - but only 10 in total !
apples, reliable as ever despite a very hard winter tree pruning ...
grapes developing, loads of bunches this year ...
blueberries fattening up, not yet ripening ....
blackcurrants, many ready for picking ...
it'll be a record crop from our cherry tree, almost ripe now ...
rhubarb, been cropping continuously since March ...
redcurrants - still a few weeks away ...
first raspberries just forming, they'll crop right through into autumn ...
strawberries, red & white varieties, eaten as soon as they ripen !

There are also two melon plants growing in the greenhouses, but they haven't yet produced any female flowers.

And our young plum, apricot and quince trees didn't produce any blossom this year.  Maybe we'll have something from them in 2019.
