Here comes the sun

Not everybody is plagued by the heatwave. The fruit trees and bushes in our garden seems to like the hot and humid weather.

the day before yesterday was another hot and humid day. Like most other people I know, I don't function well when it is hot, so I am incapable of making anything creative before the sun goes down at the moment. I did however find the energy to take a round in our garden and photograph some of our budding fruits and berries

First up is our Jostaberry bush. (or maybe its a blackcurrant I forget) either way the berries are delicious and they make for great jam

This second one is our pear tree. It is one of those multifruit trees where 3 or 4 different kinds of pears are grafted on. Last year only two of them gave any fruit, as the others lost most of their flowers to a hail storm before they could be pollinated. They bloom at slightly different times, which saved the others. The ones that did give fruit was delicious, but I hope (and think) that all of them will give a few fruits this year.

We have extended our strawberry bed, since last year we didnt get a lot of berries. This year looks great though, if only we can avoid too much rain. We have chosen the old sorts which taste much better , but are more vulnerable to rot and mould.

Finally this is the latest addition to our fruityard. A japanese Plum tree. During our visit to Japan last year I aquired a taste for salted plums, so even the ones which do not come to full maturity might be of use in the future. I only need to learn how they are made.
