Garden Update

I am so EXCITED to have a yard! And a bit overwhelmed. I do already have a great head start with blackberries, grapes, chives, mint, strawberries, pears, cherries, apricots, plums, peaches, apples, tomatoes, currents, and cucumbers. Its so cool watching everything starting to ripen and enjoy something you watched grow. Right now the blackberries are starting to come in and they are amazing.



Most of the fruit tree's are pretty new and are not growing any fruit, except for this little apricot tree, with its one oh so cute apricot! Its working so hard on it, I hope it turns out delicious.



The peaches should also be coming in soon, or at least I hope. For some reason I feel like they will never be ready. Maybe its just me but I feel like they have not grown at all in the one month we have been here.



My poor grapes are not doing great. There are 3 different plants, and 2 of them are not getting enough of something, and are not putting out any fruit. BUT the other one is at least putting forth some fruit. I hope they are concord grapes, YUM!



For some bad news, one of my tomato plants was attacked by crickets! But its ok because the rest of them are doing good and have flowers which will hopefully turn to yummy cherry tomatoes.



Well there is my first post. Thanks for joining me!
