The Fruits of Our Labor
This week marks the official entrance of Summer. After weeks of rain, we are finally in the midst of a warm, dry spell. We have more strawberries than we can possibly use. Finally, our fruit trees and vines will have a warm sun to help them ripen. If all goes well, we should have a great harvest by late summer....
nectarines
blueberries
cherries (not quite enough for a pie)
apples 
blackberries
raspberries
gooseberries
pears (not the prettiest)
tons of tiny grapes (harvest is quite a ways off)

Organically grown fruit is quite a challenge...so many diseases and pests that fruit can succomb to. Sometimes I think luck plays a big part in the harvest....not to mention weather conditions!
