I adore fruits! I feel great from that kind of food. If more than 50% of my food is fruit (I’m not allowed to eat meat, so almost all of the rest of my food are vegetables.) I have an incredible amount of energy and I need very little sleep. Fruit is my food. That is why I love every fruit tree in my yard and am sincerely grateful to the every fruit that they produce.
I never treat them either by chemical or natural something what should be against bugs or whatever, nor do I fertilize them. They are all old varieties, very durable.
It all begins in June with red currants and forest strawberries. They are followed by sour cherries and at the beginning of July with summer apples which I really adore to eat. After that, aronia is coming with it’s show. From aronia berries juice I really feel great. Now there are early plums and pears. And it is not over, of course. There will be soon another apple mature, vineyard peaches and than dune. Only autumn plums strike this year.
I adore this fruit sequence. I plan to plant apricot and cherry, this fall or next spring. I'm really very happy about it! And I have fig trees also, but are still too young to have fruits. I take care all the time, prune them, so that they do not become shrubs. I want true fig trees. With beautiful leaves and sweet fruits.
Fortunately there was a lot of rain this spring and in the beginning of the summer, so all the fruit trees were abundant. Since pear tree is full of fruits right now, I show you photos of my sweet pears.
I will make a compote for winter from its fruits, according to one old (and best) recipe.

I have to leave something to the wasps. Those ones living in a nest in my garden, if you remember… 😉
