I've been picking and eating apples for a week, can't believe how late
the toms are this year.

Are yours outside? We've got some in the greenhouse and are picking
big bowls full every two days. I do love fresh tomatoes!

Reporting from Norfolk:
Have been eating homegrown tomatoes since early August.
One lot of plums has been cropped and now finished.
Apples and pears not ready yet.
Runner beans have been on stream for the last week.

All my neighbours are having trouble with their tomatoes, but mine came
earlier than ever. My first was an outdoor one.

Lucky you! I have virtually no apples this year, not even cider apples.
The only tree which has had a decent crop is one known locally as "pomme
de juillet" though the fruit doesn't really ripen until August. Normally
we ignore this tree because the fruit doesn't have much flavour but this
year we have made good use of it!
Plums are in short supply, too. Greengages are ok but there are no
Victorias.
