A few fruit trees displaying their bounty…

Pretty amazing for a growing season with no rain!

Mesabe (semi-sweet) cherry

A very young Reliance peach tree…loaded! And Saturn white flesh peaches (my favorite)

Fresh peaches (Saturn and others) and assorted peaches ready to dehydrate

Big blue (that’s the name) plum tree…loaded with plums the size of hens’ eggs!

Takara Asian pear tree just planted this Spring…I ate a dozen delicious pears from this little gem!

Asian pears are my favorite!

These pears are not my favorite but my other pear trees have not yet produced any fruit. Patience!

Honeygold apple trees: a very young tree with two perfect apples and a tree I planted in 1994..loaded!

I have several varieties of red apples: Cortland, McIntosh, Summer Red, Fuji, Wolf River,

and a few more (Candy Crisp, Empire, Liberty, Gravenstein, Honeycrisp) that have not yet produced significant crops.

The Pink Lady apple tree (with the ladder under it) has become my new favorite apple tree!

A typical daily harvest for me to eat and a bag of perfect honeygold apples

a sinkfiul of freshly-picked plums: Burbank and Big blue
