noticed that one of my damson trees are nearly ready, so i picked a few ripe ones today but they were so-so tasting. are any of your damsons ready yet? a lotti friend gifted me some of his eating apples, but they still had a bit of a tart taste to them...

watered today for an hour, but then we had a bit of rain so i've been told (been at work all day so didn't noticed). said it'll be a downpour tomorrow - let's hope so!! it's been so dry here in notts and getting sunburned watering for more than a hour each time isn't good for me! :-\
