What a week!! 
The heat has been ever so powerful!!!!
Nasty thunder threatened us yesterday afternoon – did a few laps round the Valley just to keep us on edge – it worked! 
A busy week on the Fruit Stall…it looks like at this stage all apricots will be finished by the end of the weekend.
We have Red Gravenstein apples available now in 2kg and 4kg bags. They are a wonderful cooking apple and many people love eating them for the tartness – absolute respect to them as the sheer thought of eating them horrifies my tastebuds! 
In a couple weeks I will be able to munch into them.
As every fruit variety is late this Season our Bon Chretian pears will be available mid-next week on the Stall as will Purple King Plums. 
It’s a shame they weren’t ready for this weekend but the weather rules our lives!
Black Doris plums will be ready in about 10-14 days…..I will keep you posted..
Remember you can pre-order your black Doris & Omega plums.
No Greengages this Season as last year’s big snowstorm in September took them out.
Luisa and Hawera plums are still to come on – can’t predict the exact date as yet.
Omega plums will be ready in March.
All apple varieties are looking good on trees – will give an update closer to the time 
If you would like to purchase a bulk order of Royal Gala apples for school fundraising get in contact – we bag them in 5 & 10kg bags.
