Fruit

I think it was the perfect summer on the coast.  We even had enough sun to grow some fruit! Over the last couple of years, Adam has planted several trees.  I admit, I haven't been as "on board" with this investment as I could have, especially since many of the trees we purchased were already starting to mature.  I think we have somewhere between 13 and 15 trees...and they are all different. We've got plums, pears, cherries, nectarines, apricots, and various apples.  I know that a few have died, but not sure which ones.  This year we were able to harvest a few from about 1/2 of the trees.  I think the most exciting harvest was the nectarines! I would have never thought we could grow them in this climate!

Yummy Nectarines!

 
The next 3 photos are from picking the old apple tree in front of our house.  It was LOADED this year!!


 
 
Here's a view of 1/2 our mini orchard/grove.  The kids are watering in their undies.  Guess they were hot that day...   :)
