Oh, that photo - birds and blossoms! I am right there with you. The birds are going crazy right now! this is soooo poetic - clearly spring is tugging at your heart!

My favourite is the crapapple blossom - it's a spectacularly vivid pink!

I just harvested 7 lbs of crabapples. You can use them in baking much like apples. Who knew 🤷‍♂️ Anyway it was the only fruit tree I have that is producing. The rest are too young.

Oh yes and you can make membrillo from them too... Or wine. With enough sugar one can do anything with them. I planted it as it reminded us of England.

Wine?! Well, yes, as you say with sugar. Anything. So what does a crabapple taste like? The flowers are stunning! But I've never tasted the fruit

Very tart! Lip puckeringly so. But very high in pectin. Like an apple that hasn't learnt to be polite.

Lovely capture. 😃
