fruits from the garden

These cherries are ready for picking and the birds seem to know it too.  Even with the netting in place I have to shoo away the Indian mynahs trying to find a way in.

The apricot tree is dwarfed by the huge gum tree and no matter how much compost and manure I dig into the soil around this tree they do not seem to provide enough nutrient to give me big fruits to boast about.  The fruits, slightly bigger than the cherries are so sweet.  I will keep piling the compost and manure around the apricot tree.  I may have better luck next year.

This plate of cherries and apricots may not go far but their sweetness will be forever remembered.
