last couple

 

Great pictures Spruce. The Laburnum's looking good. A couple of my neighbours have them and they are loaded with flowers this year, so our horrible weather must be doing something right for the plants.

 

There's an ornamental cherry tree on the corner of the steps going down into the market square. Very small cherries that do sweeten up and turn a pretty red.
Anyway, this morning it was absolutely heaving -full of tiny green fruits. I'll go along and take a piccie. I don't know whether they will show up or not.

And here it is.

And the apple blossom is exceptional this year too. So maybe we are in for a bumper harvest and that our worries about later produce were unfounded?
