Today I harvested 2020

[ameno]

I haven't been bothered to report this until now, but I suppose I ought to:
I'm up to 10 litres of "windfalls" from my Beauty of Bath apple tree now (they're not really windfalls; the damn tree just sheds them before they're properly ripe).
They're good for cooking, and if you leave them somewhere warm for about 3 or 4 days they usually ripen enough to eat raw.

[ameno]

Big tub of french beans
Two beetroot.

Isn't that June drop. Our trees (and the ones round us) drop anytime from June into July. They're still dropping.

Harvest yesterday, the rest of the Charlottes (great year, good yield, good quality), beetroot and spring onions.

Nope. Beauty of Bath is a very early variety - in my garden, it's usually fully ripe at the end of July. For this tree, the "June drop" happens in May.
These are pretty much fully grown but not yet fully ripe apples (the seeds inside are brown and mature) falling off by the dozen.
It's a problem endemic to Beauty of Bath (which sadly I didn't know about when I bought the tree), possibly exacerbated by the tree being on an M27 rootstock. This variety is known for its propensity for early shedding. It seems to be a stalk problem: the stalks are very weak and easily severed from the tree, and they are also very short. So if you get much wind, the apples just fall off, if the tree is knocked, the apples fall off, and if the shoulders of the apple grow up above the height of the stalk (which they often do), then the apple will lever itself off the tree.

This evening, picked strawberries and tomatoes.

[ameno]

Picked 2.5kg of blackcurrants. Still about a third of the big bush to go.

Not strictly harvested, but I have been working in the garden all day and to keep me sustained I've eaten almost an entire gooseberry bush and jolly nice it was too!
