Pears, brambles and tomatoes
The tomatoes are finally getting ripe and brambles continue to ripen. The brambles will be coming out of our ears soon:
On average we get about 6lb per year which is more than enough for us. They get flash frozen individually on a large tray before being packed into bags and labelled. We still have some from 2018.

That looks some real quality fruit there. The pears look lovely - I think I need an early eating pear for around this time.
ReplyDeleteConsidering the pear is in effect a cordon grown over half an arch, it does well. Brambles are good, big and juicy but not always sweet.
DeleteI miss the brambles that we had at our old house. The pears look delicious.
ReplyDeleteDo they grow wild where you are?
DeleteJust had to look it up on Google, but I believe we call brambles blackberries. They grow wild in the pacific northwest & are super yummy in jam, pie, etc.
ReplyDeleteWe call them blackberries as well just to confuse things. I have always called them brambles, seems more homely somehow. They grow wild here as well but ours are cultivated and probably about 7 times larger.
