Most years I could hold my pear harvest in one hand - or two if I'm lucky!
Just have a look at this lot!
My little old Doyenne du Comice is absolutely groaning with fruit - I can't believe I'm actually wondering whether I should thin them out!
Despite the cold, wet, windy May/June/Julyweather, my fruit has never been better - monster blackcurrants; mammoth hauls of rapberries; big crops of red and white currants; lots of strawbs and super rhubarb. The freezer's almost full already and there are millions of Victoria plums and apricots coming along and what looks like being a bumper crop of blackberries on the way.
I'm so sad to read of all the veggies lost to the floods but I hope everyone else is having a 'fruitful' year. :-*
