Early harvest progressing okay (despite a terrible lack of rain)

The potatoes continue to produce well. In the Sieglinde row, the haulms are starting to die off, but the crop is very good. From one potato planted, we get enough back to feed 2,5 people for one meal.

The pumpkins are going full pace and starting to swamp everything else as usual. The Hokaido plants are a bit less vigorous, but also doing well.

The pair of pear trees (Glou Morceau - grown from bare stick cutting - a gift from my cousins in England) are doing okay, but have drifted off down different paths. There are a couple of pears set on the one by the orchard gate, but the tree near the shed has a really good crop.

Lastly, the apple tree near the shed (and the water butts) has a huge crop of great looking, albeit small apples. I hope they hang on until they are properly ripe - and that the sagging branches don't collapse completely under the load in the meantime.
