| 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!

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 😉
