Envy all for your blueberries. Ours have done really badly this year and the birds took all the choke berries even when they were unripe. However picked a small bowl of blackberries from a thornless bush today which is now reverted to thorns. Seems very early but maybe makes up for no blueberries. Last Victoria plums picked some eaten and the rest frozen for later in the year.
First red cabbage, French beans are still doing well, blueberries coming to an end put still enough for breakfast 😋.
Red cabbage is one of my favourite vegetables! I can't wait to get my veg plot up and running i'm looking at building a planter (maybe 2) from pallets soon
Welcome to the forum @TPW ! May you stay long and prosper.

My harvest is very minor compared to all of your collective bounty, but still .... I have been espalier-ing a Discovery apple tree for the last eight years or so and never really had much fruit from it. This was possibly a mix of an immature tree and daft, inaccurate prunning from me. But this year I got it right-er. I have had about 20 apples from it (two tiers), and about five fell, plus a small June Drop.
So... I'm pleased and feeling slightly less inept re fruit trees than usual.

It's lovely to pick one and eat it while walking around the garden on the morning survey. I like my apples crisp and sharp, so should have picked them in July, really.
