Sweet Pickins!

The fruit is definately beginning to prosper! I have been anticipating the pickings and we are just beginning to be able to eat them! It has inspired me to plant other plants, however I haven't acted upon the inspiration, but hope to soon. I would love to plant rhubarb, blueberries, black berries, and a peach tree!
Unfortunately, the weeds are competing with the raspberries, but we are able to get a few now and then. It needs cleaned out badly, but there is a lot of poison ivy near it!
Green apples blooming nicely! The other tree has a red variation. We also found 2 more apple trees in the fence row!
We have 2 pear trees as well. They are taking shape nicely!
The Concord grapes are also looking good!
But the mystery plant has been solved! It was a sweet cherry tree! These are a bit tart, but great for cooking. The tree is loaded and ready to be picked. If you would like some, swing over. I can't do much with them this summer considering I have no kitchen at the moment!

We also discovered a gigantic Cherry tree growing on the west side of the house away from the orchard. It is huge. Again, if you need cherries swing by, they won't be good for much longer!
