Seasonal Fruit and Veg

Wondering what fruit and veg is ready when? You’ve come to the right place! The info below is based on my own experiences and observations- there will be some variation about when each type of fruit and veg is ready, depending on variety, time it was planted, nutrients in soil, amount of love and sunlight it receives etc.

SEPTEMBER

Fruit in Season

Abundance has been harvesting apples, pears, plums and damsons this month.
