Well it will be soon. I’ve been down to the far end to check out the orchard. Things are looking great for an abundantly fruity summer. Not long now. If I’ve planted things right, we should have fresh fruit right through into the autumn. Let me show you….
Judging by the sweet aroma coming from the peach tree you’d think these were nearly ready, but alas no. I’ve still got some waiting to do.There is still a way to go yet for the nectarines, but I can almost taste it in anticipationOh my goodness – Mandarins! I thought I killed them all. What a pleasant surprise.
This splash of red is something to behold
I heart you plum
So many plums, so much hope.
We’ve never really had a plum harvest before.
I see elderberry wine in my futureFuzzy Wuzzy was a quinceThis will be the year of the pearThis bodes well for feijoa season. The tree is loadedStill no sign of nut on the pinenut tree, which is a shame as those things are really expensive.We have apples up the wazhoo
I am so excited by the abundance of it all.
Come again soon – it is amazing how much you can achieve in the garden if you just start.
Wow!! I love a post that is full of so much potential and yours certainly is!! Not sure I would be able to contain my excitement with all that fruit bursting into life – a beautiful garden x
Thank you so much for your kind words. I do love all the cool things my garden can give me in return for a bit of work about the place.
Cheers Sarah : o )
Hi Julie. The birds can be a bit of a problem, but fortunately there is always more than enough fruit to share. As for possums – being smack bang in the middle of dairy country the nearest trees are miles away so we don’t get any possums in the orchard. I have netted my blueberries though – I don’t want to lose any of those!
Cheers Sarah : o)
Hi Virginia. It is so exciting. I am really looking forward to the plums because we’ve never really had them before from these trees. Or maybe I’m most excited about the peaches, because they are just so good. Either way – I can’t wait.
Cheers Sarah : o)

Thanks Linda for your encouragement. : o )

How exciting! Do you have a problem with birds Sarah? Or possums? I have to get cracking with our nets ..
