I've not reported on the progress of some of the soft-fruit for a while. The fig is catching up. I thought it was a gonner after the bad winter, but it is in a sheltered sunny position against the fence. Enclosed in a case to restrict root growth in order to give better fruit.
There are four small apples on the Elstar and putting on lots of new growth. The wires are very close to the fence so in need to replace the short eyes with longer vine eyes to bring the wire further away.
Expecting a bumper harvest of strawberries this year, some of which are turning red already.
Finally, I don't want the birds beating me to the blueberries, so I protected the bush with some fleece.
