The Fruits in My Garden

I decided this morning to take a walk around the garden to check out how all the fruit was doing.  Want to go with me and have a look? Let’s start out in the strawberry patch – OK?

Wow – isn’t that just beautiful? Hey and take a look at this!

The raspberries are now about a foot tall, let us go and take a look over there.

And what is that I see over there?

Raspberry blossoms are showing up

How about we head over to the fruit orchard? Ah, the apricot tree. It doesn’t look like it fared well with the last snow.

The apricots didn't make it

😦 Next let’s go check out the cherries.

There are not many of the flowers left.

And look at that over there! How cool!

The two pear trees seem to have bloomed. Let’s go check out the Bosc first.

Baby Bosc pear

How cute is that? Let’s go see what the Comice is up to. Did I tell you that this tree is the pollinator for my Bosc?

Looks like there will be some fruit! I wonder if the nectarines did OK. Shall we go see what we can see?

Baby nectarine

Way cool! Wonder what is happening with the peach. We had no stone fruit last year so this is exciting!

Baby peach

There is nothing better than a sweet Elberta peach…well, except for maybe a plum!

Baby plums

This tree is a five in one. That means there are five different varieties of plums on this one tree! Every branch looks loaded! And look over there! The grapes buds are bursting!

That little green bit that you see middle left will actually develop into a bunch of grapes! One last stop before I head off to take photos of other things in the yard. Let’s go check out the almond tree. This was the first tree to bloom. Let’s see if this survived two snows…

Well there are not many, but we have almonds!

Come back again for another stroll through my yard!
