Fruit

We have eight fruit trees cheerfully growing fruit now- apple, pear, nectarine, lemon, olive, loquat, fig, and one grafted tree called "fruit salad"- it's got peaches, plums and apricots on the same tree. Also table grapes and native wild grapes.... the fruits are tiny & full of promise now- if they truly reach maturity, that's a LOT of food, so I'm learning about fruit preservation- jam and drying and brandy preserve are my favorites. We'll see how it goes!
