| Blueberries |
Well it looks like this week's freeze did not get cold enough to damage our fruit crop! So far, we are seeing the blueberries set fruit pretty heavily for their second season in ground,

Then we get to the plums! Yay! Lots of little plums all over both the trees. They are growing fast too, as I saw them in the middle of last week, and they were much smaller that what you see above. If the crop survives to maturity, I'm thinking plum jam sounds wonderful.

| Peaches |
These are my two peach trees. I thought I had a better picture of the little fruits, but I guess not. The set is fairly heavy, especially on the eastern tree. The western tree lost a main branch over the winter, so it has less branches available to set fruit. I might cull the fruits on the western tree, to give it more time to recover from the winter damage. I'll just have to see how desperate I am to have fresh fruit!
Sadly the apricots, though they fared well over the winter, did not bloom much at all and set no fruit this year. Hopefully, next spring they will get up to speed and bloom heavily and set lots of apricots.
Ooooh! so nice to see, and hope you get to enjoy them when they ripen! We've had so much trouble with all the wildlife and bugs that it's just not really worth it at this point. Spent last weekend ripping up the old fence around our tiny garden. The raised beds are starting to deteriorate so not sure what we're going to put in their stead.
