Here on the farm we have planted a few fruit trees, a fig or two, two plums and a nectarine. The fig we planted last year, and it was going good until the freak spring weather we had this year. It started budding and had a few leaves coming on when the late freeze hit, I really thought it was gone. But that little tree really recovered nicely.
Fig Tree
As I was Making the rounds yesterday, I noticed some large figs on the tree. Now just to be clear the actual fruits have been growing for a month or so, so they didn’t just pop up yesterday. The difference is they are twice the size of the smaller unripe ones.
Figs
We did finally get some rain this last week, maybe the extra water made them swell a bit. Whatever it was it worked, hopefully we can keep the birds off of them too!
Lucille Is Getting Close!
Lucille, one of our milk cows, is about to have another calf for us. Last year Lucille surprised us by calving a week after we had her Artificially Inseminated. This time we put her out with a bull and let nature take its course, should be any day now!
