This year has been an odd year for fruit. There has been a decent crop of apples but they've been quite small. The pears didn't do a thing. But as always the plums did really well. There seems to be a general consensus amongst my friends who have fruit trees that plums do consistently well ... so I think it's a fairly safe thing to say that in the Irish climate plums are a great fruit tree to start off with to ensure guaranteed feelings of delight when your crop is a success.
Once they are nearing ripeness keep a close eye on them because within a couple of days of being ready to pick the wasps will have moved in to compete with you.
Just enjoy the bounty.

I agree, the season is strange for vegetables and fruit. I had no pumpkins but my parent's apples trees bore fruit for the first time in 10 years!

Great picture.
I'm hoping for some plums of my trees next year - they were still too small this year :(
Enjoy!
