Newburgh Orchard Fruit Sale

I arrived late at the sale, earlier queues had formed in anticipation and excitement and why not, although the harvest is late and plentiful it could be a vintage year. On sale too are apple tree saplings.

Apart from fresh fruit, jams and preserves are on sale.

 

Sweet succulent  instantly edible plums, mmmmm yes, very delicious. Cooking plums also on sale for jams and preserves.

Newburgh Orchard Group have sales over the next few Saturdays. Apples and other fruits will be available.

Newburgh March 19th 2013

Newburgh March 19th 2013, that's the snow back on again particularly on the higher ground. When  the wind is off the East in winter it can be severe, in the summer we get a haar, a coastal fog from the sea, cooling, blocking the sunlight. Right now it's snow, how I long for normal prevailing winds!

Higham woods, home to Roe deer and nesting buzzards.

 

The snowfall isolates the tree forms revealing kinds of, size and the fallen.

The woods of Logie farm and recently planted larch in the foreground of Ballinbreich farm. they all form corridors  for the Roe Deer and much else.
