“Peach and apple trees are loaded.”
Jealous! I had to leave my mature orchard behind when I sold my other farm. :( But it was a terrific selling point for the young couple that bought it. They are doing SUCH a lovely job of improving my old place. They’re doing all of the improvements I had in the chute before Beau swept me off my feet and further out into the Hinterlands, LOL!
That said, I’m three years in at the ‘new’ old farm (1900) and I’ve added apples, plums, cherries, peaches and pears out here, but we’re a few years off from harvest, though the cherry trees (Northstar) are loaded!
Now, to beat the birds to them, LOL!
I did have SEVEN lovely homegrown strawberries with my breakfast this morning...and I did NOT share. :)
Great to see all the Monday morning garden updates!!! We woke up to another morning of rare noorthcoast Calif sunshine as usually it’s low clouds (fog) that burns off by 11 am and rolls back in around 4 pm. (That’s what makes the Redwoods grow here.) Our average summer temps are 54 lows and 62 highs. The Pacific Ocean is about 2 miles west of us. Just 15 miles east of us the day time temps will be 90 to 100...
I can’t get a cherry tree to grow here. I’ve set out half a dozen over the past 11 years and they have all croaked.
