Look wonderful, Jacksparrow.
A friend was saying to me last week that this year's apples had been much smaller.
Rephrase that - smaller in diameter, I mean, not smaller in crop size, but the plums look OK.

I'm missing out on a fortune. :( I've had to give most of mine away. My neighbours are now trying not to catch my eye in case I try and palm some more off on them. :rolleyes:

Put a box of them outside with a note: "Help Yourself" ... perhaps :shrug: :laugh:

'Ang on - put them outside with a notice saying, "£3.99 per kg" and then they'll disappear like snow off a dyke.

It is now looking like the amount awaiting picking is dropping off for this year. I have logged all your kind suggestions ready for next year. :rolleyes:
