Broadwater has finnished blooming

This is a "heart in the mouth" time for a fruit farm.

As the blossom drops on to the ground and we wait to see what has pollinated and ultimately, what the crop will be like for the 2009 harvest.

It is still too early to tell and experience tells me that we should never try to estimate a crop until Derby Day, which this year will be 6th June.

However……

The temperature has been good and the blossom has been prolific but we must wait for Derby Day.
