I Can Almost Taste Them!

I can't wait for the wild berries to ripen. Suddenly, I have a craving for mulberries and black raspberries.

I remember your garden posts from last season- I was miffed because you get your fresh fruits and veggies before me in NY. The apples sound yum and I hope you share with your grandsons! : ) Can't wait for the pictures of them this season!

Gardening is very therapeutic Bob. I have told my husband that I would like to get a community garden spot this year. We do not have enough sun in our yard to support a vegie garden. We do have many perennial beds that have sun/shade plants. He started working in the beds today and this past week. He really can't wait to get out there and put his all into it.

So when you gonna talk grandpa into buying me some apple trees too?

I remember your apple tree discussions from last time. Good to see they are budding well now, as this is a sign of a good crop to come. I have two apple trees. One is huge & very attractive. The other is not in a good position, as I think the soil underneath is too hard, or the roots may have hot bedrock. All my other fruit trees are suffering from the drought. They badly need pruning.

No fruit trees here and I'm renting, so I'm limited to what I can do. There's lots of daffodils and purple hyacinth coming up, though, and I've even transplanted some of them to the front yard, and also moved all the daylilies to another spot. Don't know if they'll 'take' or not, but so far they all look pretty good! Oh, and there's only lonely tulip plant out there too. No idea what color it or the daylilies will be, but I'm hoping for an explosion!

I am most excited because the lilacs are going to bloom soon, there are little purple buds on them and tiny yellow green heart shaped leaves opening up. I have two cherry trees, but they barely produced last year, due to a late freeze, and Jonagold apple, and some kind of pear, I just have forgotten what. The Forsythia has already bloomed. I had better go take some pictures so I can post at least one, rightZ? Hold on a minute.

I finally had my windows open for the first time, it felt so good to get some air in this house, I could have jumped for joy. Montreal, spring is on the way!

It is spring here in Indiana also. It is still on the cool weather side here also. WE are afraid to start planting until they do not have any chances for a frost. You are getting me in the mood for yard work. I love to work with my yard and my garden. We always plant tomatoes, peppers, green onions and leaf lettuce. We only have a small yard so there is not much room for much else or I would have more.

Your so lucky to have a garden to putter around in...sure wish I could..well, here's hoping that Law of Attraction works for me big time and can have my own home with LOTS of land to putter around in..What DID you do with all of those apples anyway? Make a lot of pies? Think you mentioned apple crisp? I made that for the first time last Thanksgiving and think will make it one of my new traditions

Hello again, dear grandpa Bob. I do not have a garden, but I am very happy that you are enjoying your gardening job there. I hope that you will have a very fruitful autumn with more fruits you can get by then. Happy gardening.

We have a few peach trees. All three of them have pretty pink blossoms on them right now. I think that 2 of them are still too small to produce fruit though. We will see later. Hopefully we will have a good crop of peaches this year. There are only 2 bags of peaches left in the freezer.

Hi Grandpa Bob I can almosttaste your Honeycrisp apple and they are so good. the apple and pear trees here in our complex in southern california have finally lost all their petals. I think they are ornamental fruit trees which is a shame but then I guess they would not want all one hundred twenty families here snitching fruit lol I was born and raised on a farm in South Dakota and we hadtwolarge apple and plum orchards so I was spoiled with tons of fresh fruits so when I got older and had to buy the stuff in the grocery stores lol. I still think I should use my little plot of ground and grow something.I love to garden.

in my garden,when i was a children ,i grew some peach tree in my graden,and when the spring come,the tree come out the flower and when summer comes,it turn out the peaches,so i like it,but now everything is changed.

We have quite a few shrubs in the garden as well as an Apple Tree and a Pear tree, both are quite young but produce plenty of fruit and the kids love it when we make pies or crumbles with the fruit! We don't get to eat all of it as Niamh is so desperate to get the fruit down usually that she will make sure that the fruit comes down before it is really ready to! lol xxx
