HERE WE GO AGAIN!

This has suddenly happened out in the back yard! This little patio tree provides the Rosy Bum fruit that was in my very first Blip! There are lots of buds breaking out, so with luck there'll be a bumper crop of... oh... perhaps 15 Bums. I think I've missed the opportunity to spray it with Bordeaux mixture against leaf curl, but I over-sprayed it last year, stained the wall behind and still got leaf curl, so I'll resort to picking off the curly leaves as usual. It seems as good a method as any. And it reminds me of dear old Dad, who chose it for me when it was nought but a stick. I always sent him a photo of its first buds every year, so here it is Dad. Thanks again. xxxx
