Looks like a bumper year for garden fruits. All of that time spent doing nothing at all really paid off, it seems.
Our fig tree has barely fruited in previous years. This year, it’s literally covered in fruit. The apple tree, meanwhile, has only ever produced the tiniest of apples, but this year sports whoppers.
And the pear tree… every year, just one or two minuscule fruit at most, usually dislodged by the wind. This year, covered in dozens of pears on every branch.
Maybe I should leave the garden to look after itself every year. It seems to be doing just fine without me.
