Orchard

The orchard is progressing nicely. We have fruit and nut trees as well as blueberry and blackberry bushes/vines. We also have a few raspberry canes but they are not really doing that well.

The blueberry bushes look good and will likely produce a crop in 2013. We got a nice crop of blackberries this year (2012). Even though we had to share with the raccoons, we still got enough to make several cobblers and freeze some. I plan on making jam with those over the winter.

We have the following fruit and nut trees:

  • Cherry
  • Apple
  • Pear
  • Peach
  • Plum
  • Apricot
  • Kiwi
  • Pecan
  • Almond

Other fruits not in the orchard — tagged for the greenhouse

  • Texas Red Grapefruit
  • Lemon
  • Lime
