Unfortunately we did not eat many of our apricots this year.  We had about 120ml of rain just a couple of days before they were ready.  They all split.

Nectarines

Nashi

Yesterday I picked our first crop of nectarines just over 2KG.  The tree came as a seedling from Penne.  From memory her mother grew it.











Today we started picking nashi.  We picked most of the back tree and some of the nashi for the side tree.  It is going to be 40C for the next two day and I didn't want them to burn on the trees.  The birds and the harlequin beetles were starting to get into them.
