I've grown quite a lot of fruit this year but not eaten so much.

In order of harvesting.

Strawberries: very few mainly eaten by squirrels
Raspberries: again very few:  squirrels, autumn ones look like I could get a crop as they are too busy with their nuts at the moment.
cherries: again the odd one:   squirrels.
Plums: none :   wood pigeons
red/black currants and gooseberries quite good crops
nectarines in poly tunnel: good crop quite a bit of insect damage but at least 50% was good. I do like a cake baked with nectarine in it. will hopefully be having a lot this winter.
apples all looking good. Picking katy last 2 weeks and excellent quality. still 50+ on the tree.
pears: one tree the wood pigeons missed has a dozen or so on, 4 other trees with none.
greengage (wild green plums, bit bigger than damsons and don't have so many grubs in) big crop this year to make up for the missing plums - good to eat fresh/jam/pies/puddings. I think they are tastier than plums.
