The first fruit of the season that we got to taste were the blueberries, but it was just a taste. So far the four bushes we have with fruit have been offering up only one or two deep blue berries every few days. Just enough for a sampling of the promised bounty to come.
The apricots are another matter entirely. The tree is mature and has been waiting only for someone to water it sufficiently. We complied and it is covered with fruit which have begun to turn the telltale golden orange. Today I picked the first of the crop. We have five ripening in the in the ripening bowl and I sliced up about ten others which we three divided. . . Fabulous!
