Our peaches and raspberries are prolific this year and we seem to be winning our war against the birds with our raspberries. We have been harvesting 1-2 pints of berries every other day. They are mostly are black raspberries as that is our established patch but we getting a few of the yellow ones as well. They both are so sweet and delicious. We are also getting all kinds of peaches off of our tree out front. We have been picking a large strainer full every couple of days. There are many more to go. The currants are all ripe as well.
The next in line for ripening are the apricots and the blackberries. The apricots are very close. I had one yesterday. It had good flavor but was not quite ripe enough. The blackberries will probably be ready in another week or so. Our pear and plum trees do not seem to have fruit on them again this year.
Growing our own fruit is so much fun. We put in this new edible landscaping about 3 years ago. This is the first year that we have seen regular crops from our trees and bushes. Not only does the fruit taste good but it also saves us a lot of money. We have even had some extras to share with family and friends.
