We have PYO Roxburgh Red and Valley Gold apricots starting tomorrow (Saturday January 21).

We were inundated today so have now finished our PYO ‘Sundrop’ apricots.
The last of our ‘Sundrop’ are being used to stock the Stall and should be available until Monday. 
🙂
‘Moorpark’ apricots should be ready to roll around the 28th of January.
Our first variety of nectarines should be starting on Monday (January 23rd)

January 19
The weather bomb hit us with a vengeance this morning.
Power lines dropped into the River Block after a tree broke the lines and twisted a power pole.
A great bunch of Delta boys were on the job in no time so the PYO Sundrops were available again from lunchtime. 
?
A few brave PYOers faced the weather conditions to get their bottling, freezing and stewing fruit. They deserved a medal for their courage. 
😉
PYO Sundrops are still available and the Stall is always well stocked. Sundrops will be finished this Saturday or Sunday. 🙂
Our ‘Duff’s Early Jewel’ plums took a hammering so they are now finished.
The Billington plums weren’t affected by the storm but are still a few days away from ripening.
The PYO Nectarines will probably start on Monday.
PYO Roxburgh Red and Valley Gold apricots will definitely start on Saturday.
All the other fruit looks good so no worries in that department. 🙂
Give me a ring on 027 210 6457 or the Fruit Stall on 03 4468585 if you want a fruit or weather update anytime.
It appears tomorrow may be a decent day so everyone keep your fingers crossed
18 January
The weatherman tells me we will have a bit of patchy rain later on in the afternoon. It may eventuate, it may not! Who knows!

At the moment it looks like all the Peeka and Roxburgh Red Apricot courier orders will be dispatched sometime next week.
Will be in touch with everyone closer to the time.
The Sun is appearing to be playing peek-a boo with us hence the PYO Moorparks may now commence about the 28th of January.
PYO Nectarines will start up on Monday 23rd of January.
Billington plums will be on the Stall early next week.
This Summer has been a bit lousy so far but I reckon eating, bottling, freezing and stewing fruit is the answer to all this doom and gloom.
