Quince

I know I’ve been writing a lot about the garden lately, but with the house still only half finished it’s been the main focus of my attention.

So, it was a nice surprise as I was putting my bike away one night this week to notice than the bush beside my front door that we’d all so admired for its red blossom in the spring is now bearing a considerable amount of fruit. Even better that that fruit looks like quince, which makes for a very nice jelly. I had thought that bramble would be my first jam, but this puts a very different slant on things.

It’s fortunate, really since after giving around 24 fruits between them the strawberry plants have done nothing for the last three weeks. Less than impressive.
