My cherries are late to ripen this year.

Mmmmm, cherries. I cannot grow any kind of fruit-bearing tree indoors and we do not have a lawn, but I was thinking of trying some Cape Gooseberries in my hydroponic indoor planter. I have been eating all of the tender young leaves off the okra plant, just recently having learned that they are edible. Quite delicious, actually, especially wrapped around flavored cheese.

My apricot tree is the same way. Last year the fruit ripened up in April. But this year they didn't start to ripen until the beginning of June. However the fruit is a lot bigger this year, so it was worth the wait!

man Gerty I love fresh cherries. Last year the late frost killed everything nearly here. I don't have enough yard now to plant to much but I would love a cherry tree in the back.

Our peach tree is growing nicely. Right now the peaches are about the size of a little rubber bouncy ball, so they have a ways to go. There are a lot of them out there though. I have not checked the apple tree lately. I know it had a ton of white buds about a month ago.

Our earliest cherry tree normally bears ripe fruit in April, but this year was about three weeks late. Then we had a period of heavy rain which conincided with the ripening of the fruit on the other cherry trees, with the result that most of the fruit split and spoilt. The insects and birds feasted on it, but most of the cherries where too far gone to be much use to us. I hae one tree which is bearing fruit at the moment & I have a box picked yesterday in front of me as I speak. they're gorgeous, actually the best cherries I've ever tasted from that particular tree. There's not enough to preserve or make jam, so I guess I'll just eat them all :-)

Yes Garden, I"M gonna have fruit this year it is gonna be peaches. Robert

Unfortunately we don't have a single fruit tree. If I could have one though, I think I would choose a grapefruit. Though I would like a blueberry plant as well.
