I'm trying to make some jams and chutneys this year but we don't yet have our fruit trees in, and what veg/fruit we do have has already been used (new to this all so working on it). i was wondering if anyone would be interested in selling me any of the fruit/veg that you might grow. I'm willing to pay posting etc. Particularly looking for apples, pears, damson, sloes and quince although would consider anything else. i realise that the season is only away to start and so you may not know yet what you'll get but if you could bear me in mind I would be very grateful. Tesco only sells limited stock and they are mostly tasteless. Thanks as usual.

I'm in North Fife and can't remember where you are so no idea if it's close enough

but I will be selling plums and cooking apples once I've enough to make my chutney and I was just going to put up a sign by the road and take some to Tayport carboot sale but you're welcome to come and pick your own if you're close enough as it'll save me the collection.

There are a few damsons (I got 7 last year for the first crop and it may be 20 by now!) and a tree full of crab apples I have no particular use for at present tho I reckon I need to find one as wasting them would be a shame.

Ellied, I am in Forfar so just over the water from you and that sounds like a great idea. PM me when would be best for you (not even sure whats all in season yet) and we can arrange a trip over the bridge. Many thanks.
