Yours are early compared with ours.  But we won't do too badly this year in spite of some unfortunate frosts and gales when the plums were flowering.

Overall it's been a super year for fruit.

Lucky you, but birds doing that are always a problem.
Nor me with runner beans, and I've just sowed another lot in the vague hope that they germinate, grow and I actually get to harvest some in late October!
