First Apricot Blossoms

P111

This week brings the opening of the apricot blossoms. So far this tree has borne just a handful of fruit each season. The abundant flowers hopefully point to a richer harvest this year.

Bumper Crop

P62

I took the time last summer to prune the tree, pick out the last of last year's crop, and give it a little bit of feeding. The result, a bumper crop of clementines. The first picking was shared with a neighbor in exchange for the avocados they drop on our doorstep. We should be able to do weekly pickings for the next two months.
