Six on Saturday 9-9-23

After a week away cycling in the lovely Scottish borders, and then some urgent family commitments, I’ll have to make it a very quick #SixOnSaturday this week. It’s September, and I guess that mean the harvest, so here are some wonderful fruit.

First up, we have SO many apples this year that some of the tree branches really are breaking off.

Pears have not had such a dramatic year, but they are almost ready too, and they always seem to ripen in one huge clump.

Back to apples, I have a couple of trees of cooking apples, they are not ready yet, but ripening nicely in the Autumn heatwave.

In the greenhouse, this year’s crop of grapes are coming on rather well too.

yet another variety of apples makes for a lovely pale golden juice that isn’t too sweet.

And last, but very much not least, there are oodles of Autumn raspberries ripening.

That’s my #SixOnSaturday for this week. Join the sixes on Mastodon or other instances in the Fediverse via #SixOnSaturday, we need a few more folk to toot on the topic: come join us. All you need to do is find 6 things in your garden to show us. Then post on social, or add a link at Jim’s blog below. For regulars, our organiser is Jim at https://gardenruminations.co.uk/. Also on twitter @JamesLStephens. And I’m on mastodon @julie3dharris@mastodon.scot
