The grapes we have growing are protected from the hens, sorry hen, with some netting and another week and I think I will be able to cut the first bunches.
The Peche de vigne which has only been planted here for 3 years is laden with the most delicious peaches.
The hedgerows are covered in big swollen blackberry fruits which we from the North of England called brambles, even though we know the briars are the brambles and the fruit are blackberries. The French call them mures and this year with all the rain pumping them up they are huge and plentiful. A bramble tart is on the cards tonight Malc.
Norbert the French neighbour comes home with paniers of girolles and cepes every morning, a good year for them also.
Wild apple trees in the donkey fields have not done so well this year, although last year there were masses, they seem to have a two year cycle.
What is doing well in your garden ? do not tell me courgettes!
