This year we have our first tiny figs! The little tree is coming along.
The blueberry bushes are still small, but they have berries.
The pomegranate tree has had more flowers than ever before. This may be a good year for pomegranates. I'm looking forward to them!
Lots of promise in your fruit garden this year!
ReplyDeleteAll of the trees/shrubs are young but they're all finally starting to show some promise! I was surprised at those first tiny figs.
DeleteBeautiful!!!!!! Your blueberry bush looks about the same as mine currently. I'll have to net it soon, as the catbirds LOVE blueberries. I will let them have at some, after I pick most of the yield. Muffins will be made, and other loose ones for granola in the morning.
ReplyDeletePoppy looks so cute under the leaves...but as the look of "I didn't do it."
We actually saw cardinals eating unripe blueberries yesterday! Once the plants get a little bigger and start really producing fruit I guess we're going to have to use bird netting.
DeleteThe first tiny Figs might fall off and other ones grow. I have a Pomegranate tree in France, but the fruits are inedible. I think I bought the wrong variety.
ReplyDeleteWe got a few edible poms last year, but I'm looking for a bigger harvest this year based on the number of flowers! They've been magnificent this year!
DeleteIt‘s lovely to see the fruit-bearing trees and shrubs preparing a good harvest for you! I am impressed by the pomegranate tree in bloom. Poppy under the banana makes a sweet picture!
ReplyDeleteThe pomegranate has been absolutely gorgeous this year! It's got more flowers than ever before and is a visual delight, even if it never produced fruit. Of course, we're looking forward to the fruit, too. :)
DeleteAre you feeling fruity?
ReplyDeleteA little bit bananas, maybe!
DeleteYou’ve created an orchard!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on it!
DeleteWow! What a lovely thing, to have your own fruit trees. I'd be so excited, waiting for things to get ripe! A teacher in 7th grade brought in a pomegranate, and we all watched with great interest as he opened it. He gave us each a seed to eat. It was very exotic to all of us.
ReplyDeleteI remember some neighbors having little scrubby pomegranate trees when I was a kid. We used to eat them when they got ripe in the fall. Really delicious (and expensive when bought in the grocery store). Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment!
DeleteNow THIS is the way to do it, Jennifer! Urban gardens and orchards! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love planting stuff that can be food for us, or for wildlife, or for bees! :)
DeleteI'd forgotten how many different fruit trees you have! I hope their ripening overlaps so you can make a fabulous fruit salad! :)
ReplyDeleteWell, we never actually get bananas, and everything else is young yet. I also forgot to mention the crabapple tree! One day I hope to make crabapple jelly, which is delicious.
DeleteThe figs are nice. I can actually grow them this far north, so maybe I'll give them a try.
ReplyDeleteIf you have a good, sheltered, South facing bit of yard, you can probably do relatively well. Our pomegranate tree shouldn't do so well here (we're zone 8 with occasional temps in the teens in winter) but I have a wonderfully sheltered South facing corner in the back yard and it does just great!
Deleteoh to have your own blueberries! all these look splendid
ReplyDeleteJennifer, I am catching up on blog reading as I have been out of commission this week. I love your photos of your garden. You definitely have a green thumb. And for your previous post, I hope you are feeling better. Your words reminded me when I broke down at my family doctor's office. I was embarrassed, but it came out. I was just diagnosed with cancer, Murphy was sick, and the world seemed to be closing in. I was telling him about the phlebotomist in the office who couldn't find a vein and she told me that I'd have to come back. That I wasn't hydrated enough. When I was relaying this to him, I started to sob!
ReplyDeleteTake care. I am sending positive thoughts your way. ~Michael
I have never eaten a pomegranate. What a lovely eden you are creating for yourselves.
