The Almonds are in bloom

2012 Almond Blossom

I visited the orchard and today and what should greet me at the entrance. Both my almond trees are in bloom and its beautiful. The flowers look delicate and once you stick yout nose into the bloosom you can smell it.

I check the rest of the trees and all is well. Much of the manure that was put around the trees early on before winter has been sucked ito the ground and has been absorebed well. It has rained twice over the week not much but enough to give the orchard a little sparkle and encorage growth.

The buds on the pear trees glow bigger as do the apple buds show below. A couple more weeks perhaps a month and the blossom will be in its full splendour.
