Spring!

I love Spring when everything comes alive, the sun shines, the birds sing, and the blossoms explode. Last year my fruit trees were contaminated with some kind of fungus that destroyed what little fruit they produced. All winter I sprayed the trees with sulfur. I read this sulfur is organic approved, but I don't know. It stunk so I had to wear my HAZMAT costume for fear of a poisoning. I think (hope) it paid off. My trees look fantastic!
APPLE TREE!

CHERRY TREE!

ITALIAN PRUNE TREE!


Fig leaves sprouting with two baby figs!
A sea of bluebells.
I love bluebells!

Does anyone know what this plant is? I planted some seeds in a bed and this plant came up. Not sure what it is. I guess I'll wait until it blooms to find out!


Spring is so lovely!

Fruit Fetuses

Oh, my fruit trees are fruiting! It's so exciting. It looks like I'll be once again up to my eye balls in fruit this year. I can't wait!

Apple babies:


Again, the apple tree is overloaded with some branches loaded with three to four little apple babies in a cluster.


Last year some of the baby apples fell off or later in the season I had to pick about 200 so the branches wouldn't get weighed down and break.

Cherries are loaded too. Babies are lovely:



Italian prunes are developing, but they aren't as loaded as the apple and cherry trees. Next year I'll have to chop off a branch to get it producing more.


So lovely.

My lettuce is ready to eat, already! Lots of green onions and radishes, too. I've eaten a few early peas and in another few weeks they should be ready to harvest.

Life is a Bowl of Cherries!

My first bowl of cherries off my cherry tree!



Close up:


As I mentioned before, the rest of the tree is packed.



I'm not sure how to get to the ones on the very top branches.



I guess they'll have to feed the birds. Oddly enough, the birds haven't noticed them.


It's the little things that make life sweet!

YUM!

Cherry Explosion!

OMG. My cherry tree is loaded with fruit! Every branch is covered! I guess pruning the tree did the trick.



The Italian Prune is showing fruit, too. This is the first big year for both trees. It's going to be a very fruitful year!
