I'm participating in the #monomad challenge with this post.
Title: BW backyard fruits
For several years now, since I moved to a rural area, I have been producing part of my food in my backyard. The benefits of this type of self-production are numerous, despite the fact that producing food is not at all a simple task and that the end result frequently depends more on the weather than on your labor. Despite the fact that the weather did not spare us this year, I can still say that I am happy with how the garden and orchard are doing.
Today I will share with you some of the fruits that will soon enrich our table.
When I grew this kind of zucchini last year, I was happy with both the quantity and quality of the harvest. We have planted ten plants, so as things stand, we will have too much of it this year.
This is my first time growing a watermelon, and I'm very anxious to see if I can grow a few large fruits that will cool and refresh us during the hot summer days.
We plant tomatoes every year and enjoy eating them.
While I was taking photos, someone sneaked up on me through the carrot leaves.
In addition to vegetables, a good part of the yard also contains various fruits that we like to eat. We have been growing aronia for some time and we use its fruits to make juice and jam. Although it has a pungent taste, I like to eat it fresh.
The small and young quince tree has finally started bearing fruit. During the cold winter months, one of my favorite treats is quince compote. We still won't have enough fruits for that purpose, but it is possible to expect a sufficient yield from the following years.
I will definitely plant more pears before winter. We all love this fruit and we only have two small trees.
Walnut is definitely an irreplaceable ingredient in many cakes that I adore. I will have to look for a suitable place for a few sprouted saplings. The only drawback is the long period of plant development until the full harvest.
The orchard is dominated by plums, but I will gradually reduce them.
After five years of frost during apricot flowering, finally a year with fruits. Although the quantity is not satisfactory, I was happy with them and I can't wait for them to ripen.
