Young n Fruity
13Tuesday 15 April, 2014 by Uncle Spike
April now and it’s warming up slowly, but still cool enough at nights for some heating. In less than a month’s time we’ll start the long dry season of summer, but for now we have sun, and we have rain – a mixed bunch every couple of days… Certainly it’s good for the trees, excellent for the veggies, and the weeds, well, that’s another story.
All around, new life is upon us. This is a simple post of a few of my babies (that’s sad farmer talk for young fruit).

Most folk eat them here green too, sometimes with salt. We call then Erik’s, but if you leave them, they turn a dark purple like normal sweet plums..

nom nom! our cherries don’t get a chance to become ripe and red — the birdies get them first. 🙂
