in season

THIS MONTH SEES THE START OF THE BRITISH APPLE SEASON. EATING APPLES ARE THE FIRST TO CROP, FOLLOWED BY COOKING APPLES A LITTLE LATER. BLACKBERRIES AND BLUEBERRIES SHOULD BE PLENTIFUL AND WE SEE NATIVE PLUMS, AND APRICOTS AND PEACHES FROM SUNNIER CLIMES. RASPBERRIES SHOULD STILL BE RIPE FOR THE PICKING. COURGETTES ARE HERE AS ANY ALLOTMENT GARDENER WILL TELL YOU – AT THIS TIME OF YEAR THEY SEEM TO APPEAR OVERNIGHT! FRENCH BEANS, GLOBE ARTICHOKES AND TOMATOES ARE AT THEIR PEAK. FOR FISH LOVERS, NATIVE SCALLOPS, CRAB, LOBSTER AND SEA BASS ARE IN SEASON NOW.
