Our days of fine weather are about to end, at least temporarily. It looks like we'll have a wet weekend, and maybe some thunder and lightning tomorrow. Then on Sunday, as rain continues, the temperature is supposed to start dropping. By Monday, instead of today's high of about 68ºF, we'll see a high temperature of 57ºF. I'm not looking forward to that, but we do need some rain.
Of the two apple trees we have left in the yard, this one produces by far the best apples. Behind the
pommier, above and below, you can see the garden plot. It's not yet prepared for planting, and the tiller is in the shop for service and repairs.
Last year we had a freeze in mid-April that pretty much killed off our apple crop. This year, we've been luckier, and we're hoping to get a ton of apples for tarts, crumbles, sauce, and just eating raw.
Wish us and the
pommiers bonne chance !

ReplyDeleteGood Luck and a bountiful harvest
ReplyDeleteHoping for a good garden for you this year! I really like seeing the trees in your yard. Our backyard oak tree has beautiful new leaves to enjoy- a spring green which lasts only a short time.
ReplyDeleteBonne chance!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful apple blossoms.
I could imagine a grand picnic under that apple tree if only your weather would cooperate!
ReplyDeleteThose blooms are so representative of the spring around here, too! My wild cherry tree is still sending blooms all over and the new spring green from the other scrub oak and others are hiding the windows of the neighbor's homes (I've been looking forward to that!)
