Harvesting Fruits
Harvesting time varies each year, so check apples and pears regularly to ensure you pick at the right stage of ripeness.

Do you grow autumn raspberries? Ripe fruits can be harvested right through autumn until the first frosts.
Pick apples, blackberries and autumn raspberries as they start to ripen: They may be used in pies and desserts.
Did you already propagate blackberries and other cane fruits with long, lax stems by tip layering.
Keep tying in and training new blackberry canes: separate new canes from older, fruiting canes to ease pruning.
Fruit picking can begin with strawberries, cherries, summer-fruiting raspberries, currants, the earliest of the plums.
Promptly cut out the old canes when summer-fruiting raspberries have finished cropping.
