The fruit garden in autumn is a many splendoured thing

Fiann Ó Nualláin says ripe pickings, the Púca and temperature drops mean you have to move fast now.

The fruit garden can be a busy place in October, there is still harvesting happening and there is plenty of timely maintenance to undertake to ensure safe passage through winter and a bumper harvest next year. I have pears and apples to get in yet.

And there is always the chance to add some new varieties.
