Spring has well and truly arrived early this year. It's not yet the end of August and already our plum tree is bursting with fresh green growth (after a heaving crop last summer she is taking her biennial breather). The towering elder, our nectarine tree, is reaching its many outstretched arms towards the sky covered in candy-floss coloured blossom gifting us a delightful display that you cannot help but be drawn to from all corners of the garden. A few lone snow white apricot flowers are slowly emerging and the first fuchsia bud of our peach tree has popped open. Every tip of the quinces spindly branches hold a petit green rosette. Just looking at this delicate new growth takes me back to last spring when she was a sea of voluptuous marshmallow pink petals and I will be waiting eagerly for that moment to arrive once again. The cherry twins, nashi pear and apple all still sleep soundly, as if awaiting their moments of adoration respectively. I do so love this long slow performance of our orchards yearly symphony.
Oh so beautiful lovely! Thank you for sharing. Our garden line up looks very similar - minus the melons. (Also ALL the chillies for my partner haha)
