Nuts and plums

Our vegetables didn’t do that well this year but it’s been a great year for fruit and nuts.

We had a huge quantity of plums; so many in fact that I had to thin them out to try and stop the weight breaking the branches of the tree:

The hazel tree has also produced a good crop of nuts:

It’s also the first year that our greengage has produced fruit… and very tasty it was too!

And our grapevine (the mighty “Blue Gagarin”) also produced a good crop of grapes.
