There's an open look at what is going on in the orchard at the moment with the trees. You see a lot of different seasons in farming over the years. Time will tell what this one will bring. Best wishes to all.

 

A week in August 2013

Nectarine blossom

 

 

 

 

 

Spring Satin Plumcots

 

We picked our first few of these off young trees last season.

 

They had an outstanding flavour and were delicious and juicy to eat.

 



 

 

 

An overview of where these young trees are planted.

 



 



Pruning some cherries at the moment.

Sweet Georgia to the left and Lapin to the right of the photo.

 



 

 

Two rows of Lapin. Left row unpruned right row pruned.

 



 

Another row of Lapin looking back at Bluff Rock.

This is my work environment. Not too shabby on a good day.

There's an open look at what has been going on in the orchard this month.

The seasons seem to roll around quicker all the time.

Best wishes to all.
