RE: Planting a New Normal: What If Our Streets Were Lined with Community Gardens and Fruit Trees?

in #gardening7 years ago

I do not know the variety off hand but this is the second year for a big harvest. They all come at once so we may try making peach juice and dehydrating some for granola. We should be able to harvest them in July.
We also have planted cherries, blueberries and raspberries that we can begin eating soon, plums, apricots, and pears that we hope to get a harvest from this year. We also have 2 big walnut trees...someday.
A couple of years ago we were able to give away 2 tons of apples and applesauce. This year after all these tress were blossoming we had a late freeze with snow a few miles away on Mothers Day but I think we were blessed somehow and the trees all seem to have some fruit on them.
We even got some watermelon and cantaloupe last year. The weather plays such a big part in the harvest.

Wow! Sounds like you have quite the abundance and lots more on the way. What a gift to be able to share so much. I'm sure everyone who received has been so grateful for you! Glad to be connected. :)
