Great Picking Day!
The forecast for today is meant to be lovely and fine so if you were thinking about coming up for PYO Sundrop then today is a perfect day for it!
We do have a couple of brief showers right now but they are meant to clear shortly.
The Sundrop are still perfect for bottling, freezing, etc and the one up the top of trees are getting nice and ripe for eating!!
On another note, I have had to deploy the bird cannon once again after my mate Derrick and I discovered a large flock of Starlings in the Roxburgh Red Apricot trees last night!! Nasty little blighters!
Don’t worry though folks, I’ll turn it off when there are PYOers in the block.
PYO and Stall Update
After a day of rain yesterday, the weather is meant to be clearing today and we are meant to have great weather for the next few days! Wahoo!
We still have heaps of Sundrop available for PYO so make sure you make the most of the decent weather and come on up!
On the Stsll we still have a nice range of Sundrop 1sts and 2nds as well as the lovely Diff’s Early Jewel plums.
PYO Update
Today we are meant to have wind and rain for most of the day so unless you are an extremely hardy soul who doesn’t mind picking in the rain, then it is probably best to delay any PYO plans until tomorrow.
If you are heading up Central way then on the Stall we will have:
Sundrop Apricots – 1st Grade Boxes 7kg for $21 and 2nd Grade Boxes 5kg for $12. They are at the perfect stage for bottling right now.
Duffs Early Jewel Plums – 2kg bags for $5. They are perfect for eating and kids just love them.
PYO Update
It’s going to be another cracker of a day up here in Roxburgh so if you’re in the mood for PYO then today is the perfect time to come on up and get some PYO Sundrop Apricots.
There are still plenty on the trees and the heat over the past couple of days has brought the sugar levels right up.

Good PYO Day
We were flat out with PYO yesterday and the weather was absolutely beautiful.
We had a brief shower this morning but the sky is now clearing and the weather is meant to be nice for the rest of day so if you’re thinking of coming up for PYO then today is a perfect day for it.

PYO and Stall Update
Yesterday we was a very busy PYO day but there are still plenty of Sundrops just waiting to be picked!
The forecast for today is meant to be nice and fine so it looks like it should be ideal picking conditions.
As we are just at the start of the season the majority of the Sundrop are still quite firm which is the perfect stage for bottling, freezing, etc.

PYO Has Begun!
PYO Sundrop Apricots have begun!
We have PYO advertised for Saturday and Sunday so if anyone wants to beat the rush and come up today then they are most welcome.
The forecast for the next few days is meant to be nice and fine, perfect weather for PYO!
The price is $1.90/kg (same as last year).
The Sundrop are slightly smaller than usual this season but they make up for it with fantastic flavour!
Plus smaller Apricots are the best for bottling as you can fit more in the jars!
Fruit Update

Sundrop Apricots – 1st Grade Boxes 7kg for $21 and 2nd Grade Boxes 5kg for $12. They are at the perfect stage for bottling right now.

Ruby decided to do some bottling in between customers yesterday.
Here’s a photo of the result.
She learnt from the best. All those years of being Mum’s under-study has paid off!!
Plus she loves it, which is a bonus!
