2021 - Picked my first.............

All the peaches (7) - not ripe but all the rest developed brown rot on the tree. I expect these'll will just get it in the tray, instead! Grown from a stone found in the shooting in the compost heap, the flesh is dark yellow, rich and really tasty and the tree doesn't get much leaf curl despite being right out in the open. Last year it fruited for the first time.

Peaches and plums have been affected by brown rot here too. So disappointing.

We had a frost that got most of our plum blossom this year - I've picked two - but luckily our neighbour's F-in-L has an orchard a few km away full of mirabelles and pruneaux d'agen that are no longer harvested commercially so we are well supplied!

And the peaches are indeed rotting in the tray, but the good bits are really good.
