Fruit Update Sunday evening 29 January 

Well finally the  PYO signs are down…..so many brave people arrived throughout the past few days who so wanted the experience of picking, more so, than the amount actually picked….they had a great time.  

Many went down to the river block to take some photos with their families.

Alas we have too shut it all down now – but wait..we will be back next year with PYO once again.  

Mum started PYO, 33 years ago and PYO has created immense enjoyment for everyone.

Finally I can say we have Billington plums on the stall in 2.4kg bags….they are small with red flesh… suitable for eating, stewing, sauce, and Jam  – a lovely plum. 

Our Shiro plums are non-existent due to the appalling weather during setting time, as are the Back Amber plums…. I still feel sad our Wilsons Early plums were attacked but the heavy rain after they endured the snow and frost combo last year.

Plenty of Clutha Gold apricots on Stall in 5kg & 6kg boxes.

Hawera, and Louisa plums won’t be for a while..will keep you posted.  

Bon Chretian/Bartlett pears should be in maybe 10 days. Will keep you posted – I will pin Sam down closer to the time for an  actual start date.

Black Doris and Omega plums are still a while away – again will keep you posted.

Am looking forward to the Black Doris plums ripening….. and of course the Omega plums which become ready in March.. some also know them as the George Wilson plum ..….depends on where you live…

Pre-orders being taken for Bon Chretien Pears, Black Doris and Omega plums. 

You can have all of these orders either picked up or sent on the Courier. 

Today has been sooo hot….it is still 29 degrees and it is 8:22pm according to my phone.

Tomorrow is going to be a gorgeous day…27 degrees predicted…..
