Catford Road, London SE6, 12th August
A cracking day was spent in Catford just talking to the punters as they walked pass in this promotional day looking at the benefits of fresh juice. In this case I made use of a glut of ugly-looking wild pears and some windfall Bramley apples from one of my other gardens.. Top fruit has been falling early this year because of the stress caused by the hot summer. I was already eating James Grieve by the end of July. Unfortunately too, fire-blight rapidly spread throughout London when we had the substantial early rain showers. Still, figs and peaches look superb. If anyone is having alternative success with unusual fruits and veg I am interested. Please contact me: eight.merlyn@virgin.net
