Some lovely pears this year. Best crop for some time. Just letting them ripen off the tree before doing something with them?? #gardeningwithjason #pearrecipes #growingfruit #allotmentfruit
Think I might have a few apples!! Got three times this on the tree! Busy finding good homes for those I can’t use #gardeningwithjason #appletrees #applerecipes #allotmentfruit #growingfruit
Some images from our family outing yesterday.
A few aren't very well focussed but I think I could use any of them as references for my art.
So which one should I start with?
Thanks!

This is the earliest I’ve seen blackberries! Huge amount ready. Just frozen 3kg of them! #gardeningwithjason #allotmentlife #blackberries #growingfruit #makingjam
Got a good crop of plums this. Jam and wine done. Any thoughts on what else to make? #gardeningwithjason #growingfruit #plums #plumrecipes #allotmentideas
After threatening my plum tree last year, it appears to have produced a bumper crop this year. Apart from wine and jam, any ideas on what to do with them? #gardeningwithjason #growingfruit #allotmentlife #plumrecipes
This is just one gooseberry bush. I’ve got the same amount again from the two other bushes I harvested plus another 2-3 bushes to harvest. Bit overwhelmed with gooseberries! Jam anyone? #gardeningwithjason #gooseberries #gooseberryjam #allotments #growingfruit

An established tayberry bush that is growing a bit wild in a large black pot. There is some ripening fruit visible on it
We bought a new blackcurrant bush today to replace the one that died. Look at all that fruit! I can't wait to make blackcurrant curd 😋
We also bought a new blackberry bush to go with the tayberry bush that is fruiting really well this year ☺️

Saplings of two of Steve’s favourite figs: ‘Niagara Black’, a purple fig, and ‘Dalmatie’, a green one. These are off-shoots from Steve’s own trees. I’m gardening in Canadian Zone 6b (USDA Zone 5b-ish). He over-winters some in a cool indoor space, and some lie down under straw bales. Fingers crossed for me!

This old dog in Toronto is trying the new trick of growing figs in a cold climate. All thanks to the guidance of Steve Biggs, who literally wrote the book on it! On lemons and (soon) olives, too. Visit: foodgardenlife.com #canadagardens #gardensky 🌱 #edibleplants #growingfruit
If all of these can stay on the tree until summer this could be the first year with a decent crop of pears!! #gardeningwithjason #peartree #growingfruit #allotmentlife #growingpears
The plum tree is in blossom. Looks gorgeous. Hoping it will produce some fruit this year. Had 2 plums last year. If it doesn’t it’s in for a serious pruning!! #gardeningwithjason #growingfruit #plumtree #allotmentsofinstagram
