Spring Freeze

Our cherry tree.  I do believe our last round of freezing
temps killed all of this wonderful potential.

Echinacea & strawberries

Because of our fluctuating temps this spring, I do believe we have lost most (if not all) of the fruit on our fruit trees this year.  I may be jumping the gun a bit, but it doesn’t look incredibly hopeful. Our cherries are looking a little worse for the wear, as are our apricots.  Our apples and pears?  I can’t find more than a couple withered blossoms on any of them.  Ugh.

Rhubarb & strawberries

With another cold snap whipping through, beginning last night and stretching through tomorrow, I have my fingers crossed that the perennial fruits (and herbs) that are doing so well won’t die back completely.  I am incredibly hopeful for the ability to make a strawberry-rhubarb anything from our garden this summer!

xoxo,
M

    This is THE most odd weather I’ve ever seen here in our parts too. We’re going to get into the upper 30’s tomorrow night. In May!?!? It’s crazy. I hope your fruit doesn’t drop off, maybe the trees will hang on to them somehow. Stay warm!

      Weird weather, indeed! The final results aren’t in yet, but I do fear we’ve lost all our fruit this year. Everything has either fallen off our is shriveled up and dead. Ugh… Well, at least their leaves are pretty, right?

    I see that your strawberries are growing whenever they want 🙂 Last year was surprised to see that some of my strawberries ‘escaped’ to the neighbour’s garden 🙂

      Strawberries tend to have a mind of their own 🙂 For now, as long as they give me some delicious strawberries, I’m OK with their travels. I may, however, have to reign them in at the end of the season 😉
