Visited the plot this evening after being away for a week. I was mostly just having a nosy to see what has changed. Spotted my first baby pear, on my 2yo Jargonelle tree (one of the oldest cultivated varieties of pear, first recorded in the 1620s). I should knock it off so the tree can continue to mature but I was excited to see it! Means the Duchesse d'Angouleme tree next to it has successfully pollenated it so at least I know this pairing of pears works! #allotment #pear #growyourown
