Summer is here and the fruit trees in our garden are at various stages of fruit bearing .
On a Sunday what about a virtual tour .

1. Loquat tree. The fruit is ready to eat. The tree bears either the yellow or orange colour fruit- pulpy with big lustrous seeds. Evening walk husband and I pick and eat everyday.

2. Cherry is also ready. Ours is a little sour variety and I love their colour. U won’t believe but I love it as chutney or a dip
3.Peaches are still green- will take some time to grow to their full size and change colour .
4.Fruit has set in the grape wine but it has a long way to go. We expect the juicy grapes somewhere mid July.

5.Pomegranate is still at the bloom stages the orange flowers signify we will have a good yield .
6. mulberry tree is done for this season , the luscious red berries are over- eaten and digested long back.
7.. We also had strawberries but they are also over.
8.Apricots are half ripen will just take a few more days .
My father in law who is a retired banker , loves to take care of the garden, ofcourse we have a gardener for help who does the cutting and pruning . But the garden is my father in law’s baby. All the credit for the bloom and the beautiful fruit goes to him.

See this space for organic veggies in the garden tomorrow —-
