something growing.
Two apples!
An apricot!
More apricots! Right now, they're hard, green, and look a bit beat up
(maybe from hail storms we've had over the last several weeks?) but there are
eleven of them, so the fruit crop is looking better than it ever has.
There's probably a saying about don't count your fruit until it ripens,
but things are looking pretty good in the orchard today!
I think that's definitely cause for celebration! and I hope the other trees show some signs of bearing fruit so you can share that with us, too. Even if you don't get anything else, two apples and eleven apricots will be divine, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! We had a peach tree in the yard when I was growing up and I loved it.
ReplyDeleteIt is so exciting to see fruit the trees! Every year we wonder how our trees will fare and with our up and down spring we were surprised to find the peach tree triple loaded (had to thin them out!), the apple trees packed full, and even a few pears, but sadly, not a single apricot. Spring is capricious.
ReplyDeleteaww we have never done fruit trees. I think you need some elevation? We are flat here in Chicago. Our neighbors pear tree is just a nuisance. The bees get to them after the squirrels and they drop in our yard and create a mess. Oh my that sounded awful..sorry
ReplyDeleteOh my! That is really exciting!!!! I'd love to have a fruit tree (or two!) in my yard.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting Bonny! You really are a farmer! ;-)
