Blossoming Now!

No, I very rarely bake my own pies like my mother used to. A hot apple pie would be so good with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. yummy

My grandson planted some pumpkin seeds. Once they come up and we have pumpkins, we are going to bake a pumpkin pie. I have many times made fresh pies before. I don't have a fruit trees, I do have some rasberry plants. I just like to pick and eat them.

All our blossom has gone now and the summer flowers are starting to bloom but unfortunately, the weather has turned... gone colder, wetter and windier again. It's a bit like March and all the blossom has been blown off the trees. My lilac lasted only about a week before they started getting battered. I bake blackberry and apple crumble, and apple pies, sometimes rhubarb crumble. I often have apples and rhubarb given to me and the blackberries are in plenty around here so I pick those in August. I love home-baked pies and crumble. Brightest Blessings, my friend.

My nectarine and plum trees are in bloom right now, and the bees have been buzzing around all day. Quite bucolic.

I'm not so good at baking, but recently I've found a recipe for caramel apple pecan pie that comes out really good. I buy my apples from a farm near here that has a lot of varieties of apples, but I would love to have my own tree. I have a couple of pear trees that have never produced anything but blossoms. I used to fertilize them, but gave up finally after years of non-production.

That's great, I don't have any fruit trees in my yard. My daughter moved into a house last summer that has apple trees in her back yard. I think I will take a look at them to see if they are in bloom. If so I will be picking and making apple pies too sometime this year. Happy Pie Baking to us.

That is very nice. I have never grown any fruits before or made any pies yet with fruit.

Sadly no apple tree for me this year since we moved. Those little blossoms on your tree are going to turn into some really good recipes later this fall I am sure. I hope you get a bunch this year too. I love pies made with homegrown fruit.

Hi GRANDPA PA, That is so pretty now that they are in buds, yes ours are bloosoming out now too, but I don't make any apple pie or anything, I have not baked for a long time now, don't seem to have the time. Tamara
