Well,

We've got quite a few fruit trees and they are all producing stuff now. Most of it isnt ripe, but we are waiting! We've been eating cherries and berries like crazy and they are excellent!

Here is our Blackberries. We have two rows of these, and a whole mess of wild ones in the pasture.

Peaches... (PLEASE excuse my crazy tan,lol. I've had that wristband on since Sept. last year and my skin is pretty pale underneath it!)

Apples...

We also have a Mandarin Orange, a regular? orange,lol, a lemon, a grapefruit, plums, grapes and raspberries, and probably something else I forgot about!

Wow, all the fruit looks perfect - which is so difficult with all the pests that love to nibble on luscious stuff like that! You've done a great job.

Wowzers, I'd love to go "shopping" on your property! :p Everything looks so tasty!
I sincerely hope your grandma has also passed on the wisdom of perserving all that wonderful food to you!

Thanks, Tutter! What do you mean by putting it up? LOL. We dont ever have enough left to put anything up. We've got 20 or so people that eat off of all of these plants, the plants are lucky THEY get to live,lol.

Thanks, Bama! It sure is great to be able to have all of the plants we do.

Thanks, Cassandra! It really is, I was chowing down on all kinds of fruit today,lol.

Thanks, Buff! We sometimes get peaches with earwigs in them, but most of them are good. I dont believe my grandma has used pesticides in a long time, but I think she's thinking about it now.

LOL, TFF! Believe me, it really is tasty! She's passed on her knowledge of taking care of everything, definitely. I've been talking to her about canning/preserving though, and she said we might try it. She used to growing up, and its something I would love to do!

By 'putting up' I did mean preserving some for winter, but it looks like it's all spoken for! :happy_flower

That fruit looks GREAT, Jordan! Hmmmmm. I wonder how long it'd take me to drive there . . . Now to see if I can get there before Tutter!

Wow that looks awesome!

I can't wait for our next trip down to Southern California, we'll be loading up from our fruits trees down there.

Buff is right! All of the fruits looks very well tended and cared for. It's not an easy thing getting such good looking plants and fruits.

Congrats!
