From my plum tree

First time my plum trees and my cherry trees have produced fruit. After six years, I had been wondering if they would ever bear. The Bluebell grapes are daily turning deeper purple, the Kay Gray grapes are ripening too - just a little harder to tell w/ the green kind. The apple trees are full of fruit. I picked one to see if they were ready yet. One bite and I puckered up. No, not quite ready yet.

Steve picked a few bushels in 15 minutes of Paula Reds on Sunday. Still a bit tart but great for apple crisp.

Last winter there were only a few oranges on my tree; There weren't very many blossoms in Feb so I wasn't expecting much fruit. The other day I was amazed to see more green oranges than I could count. Now if they will stay on the tree long enough to turn ORANGE! They are good when they ripen.
The Cherry and Plum looked delicious.
