Well dear Tree-Followers, here we are in October and the end game is in sight for the Quince Count. Where have we got to today.......?
Let us being with Quince Major

| Quince one |

| Quince Two |
Two goodly shaped quinces - too high up to pick without a ladder, but they are there and I will pick them once they have turned that lovely yellow ripe colour. I predict a crumble as the Kaiser Chiefs should have said.
Quince Minor
oh, oh dear, no photo of a quince because they are no longer attached. I can find no sign of them. A dastardly quince thief has taken them when I was not looking. I blame squirrels, I always blame squirrels, rarely has my blame been proven to be misplaced.
Now some of you might say: but hang on a minute, last month you reported two quinces, one per tree. Yes I did, but I cannot find any on Quince Minor and I found one very high up hiding on Quince Major. They are tricksy, I always say they are tricksy because they are. Your two 'go to' learning points from this blog are:
a) Squirrels cannot be trusted
b) Quince trees cannot be trusted
Who knew!

Oh no! pesky squirrels. I can just imagine them tucked up in a hole in a tree somewhere, tucking into your quinces. Laughing their tails off!
