Yippee!
The apples and sour cherry are in full bloom. And, the past few days have been sunny and
warm which certainly helps get the pollinating bee population busy.

Our last, and very late freeze, did not
seem to affect the flower buds of these fruit trees. The wisteria and lilacs were not as fortunate. The flower buds on these plants shriveled and
turned brown – better luck next year. I
will miss a few blossoms, but we will have our apple and cherry crop – yummy!
Now, I have to find a solution to the
stealthy bird situation. The ripened sweet
and sour cherries seem to be favorites of many bird species and they usually
beat me to the treasure.
I like my birds, and I do not mind
sharing a few cherries but not the entire crop.
I will be hanging a few shiny CD’s to
help ‘scare’ the birds away from my juicy cherries.
Does anyone have a better idea?
