In Scotland, all the soft fruit always come at once in the second week of July: its time to get in the harvest from the hills and the garden - eat as much and preserve the rest for the long winter to come.
I wrapped the apples for the winter, and now, on the 1st March 2023, I am still munching the apples that I stored in the cool garage cellar: they are wrinkled but the sugars have transformed them: so sweet and delicious: I actually prefer them now.
All looks lovely, both to eat and to look at.

I forgot to mention the late summer fruits: we are now (1st week September) in peak blackberry and damson season.
