Spring is here for sure...because the fruit trees are all started to bloom!
One of the two apple trees is blooming...
The blueberries are all budding out (sorry for blurry picture it was windy)...
This is the nectarine (our former mystery fruit)...
And one of the two pear trees is budding out as well...
The plums haven't bloomed yet but they have tiny buds so probably a couple weeks away. The reason not all of them have blossomed is that we have two varieties of each fruit so they all bloom at different times.
Fruit tree blossoming means it's almost time to replace the fishing line "fencing" we put up to keep the deer out. We're going to do it a bit differently this year by adding an extra row or two so there are less gaps between the lines. It worked great last year and kept them out so we'll see how it goes this time around.
Wishing you a bumper grop of fruit this year and hopeflly the birds will leave well enough alone as well but I doubt that as they like fruit as well.
ReplyDeleteEverything is budding and leafing out here as well.
Received an inch of rain during the night when the storms went through and that really greened things up.
From the looks of it, we just may have to mow again this coming weekend.
Enjoy your day and have a wonderful evening.
Yes, no birds and no deer, ha. We had some good rain last week too and then it was gorgeous this weekend. I mowed (more in an upcoming post). Thank you!
DeleteIt's finally Spring!! Everything is blooming, the bees are buzzing, the birds are singing, the weather is warm - life is good! Wishing you bountiful crops!
ReplyDeleteThank you! yes, isn't it beautiful and glorious outside? I love the sound of nature in the Spring. Thanks, hoping for some fruit this year.
DeleteThe blossoms are so pretty and a happy promise of fruit.
ReplyDeleteThe promise of fruit, that's all we can hope for. We'll do our best to help nature along, ha.
