My plum tree seems to have fruit ready earlier than most. I am not sure the variety but Avalon plums online look like mine. But the web says 'ready in August'. I have ripe plums now. I'd be grateful for a steer on the variety (they look like Avalons) but surely it is too early for them? Faversham does have an odd climate with unusual amounts of hot air, especially in my locale (ahem) but nevertheless.
Jam and chutney . . . bloody marvellous!
Always thought you were a bit of a plum
Seriously though, good for you.
I have been smarting for weeks that your asparagus poked itself out of the ground before mine
No, nothing (pears). Gardening is good, though, innit?
We have massive beetroots, curly cale and brocolli all ripe now. Mrs T's picks this year, and every one a winner!

Strange, isn't it . . . . .
Well, first time in a very long time we have had such sustained heat, sun and rain in June . . . . maybe that has something to do with it....
I'll post some piccies of my fruit and veg (and that's not a euphemism) in a day or so.
