Evening walk

crab apples... surprisingly there doesn't seem to have been a June drop...I think they may be still small as we haven't had that much rainfall...

And high up in the trees are...

Pears...it will be a short window when they will be just right to juice...fingers crossed!!


 And we could just see Arran. Today we have had gusty winds again...we had planned a bike ride, but wind and showers again wrote that off.

After our walk I started harvesting gooseberries, black and red currants and Alpine strawberries... Without netting the birds would have already cleared the lot!!

Birds don't miss a trick where berries are concerned. One day they areripe - the next day gone!

We are gently (grrrr) competing with the birds but we don't net, we use a variety of 'scary things' which on the whole do the trick. The blackbirds are friendly enough to know we don't mean to be horrible so ignore all measures of 'anti-bird - cheeky beggers!! haha

Hawthorne I would love to be able to not net.. however before I did, I lost the lot...
I would like to know which birds eat gooseberry sawfly caterpillars though..if it is blue tits, sadly they don't frequent our garden.
