We’re getting to the best time of the year- everything is getting ripe!
Bubblegum Plums (15-16 brix)- I like these, but they aren’t to everyone’s tastes. I gave a coworker some of this and a contender peach and she preferred the peach hands down (it was good too). This has an “artificial taste” to it. I’m guessing that is why it is called “bubblegum”…
Faith seedless grapes (14-15 brix)- Not a super interesting flavor, but tastes like a very good black grape from the grocery store. The main problem I’ve had is that 90-95% of the crop was eaten by something. Only a few unripe grapes were left. This bunch was protected by a bag and must have been overlooked by whatever is munching on them.
St Edmunds Russet (14-16 brix)- Best early apple I’ve had. Flavor reminds me of a Golden Russet. The texture is a bit looser and more crumbly than some may like, but it is a real treat.
Contender peach (13 brix)- nice snappy flavor with an almost crisp texture. The recent rains must have swelled it to near splitting.
