Wonderful Wampees and Glorious Grapes

After the fabulous rain we have received up here in the Northern Rivers the orchard is looking sensational. I wandered down there last week and had a feast of wampees. Personally my pick is the lively tasting Guy Sam, it can be a little sour for some though, so those of you with a sweet tooth may prefer the delicious sweet Yeem Paye. Related to citrus the wampee has a tangy sweetness reminiscent of their larger and better known relatives.




The grapes are just beginning to colour up but are not quiet ready for picking yet, although they looked very tempting dripping with rainwater.
