#tinyorchard

My new life as an organic almond farmer is off to a flying start. I beat the ground squirrels to this bumper crop. Once they're shelled, I should have a whole handful. 🧐😐 #gardening #nevada #tinyorchard https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RNgjQpy8D/?igshid=1b4cttqfwhyno

Little fruit trees continue to grow. Next week on the summer solstice I will prune the enthusiastic new growth on the nectarine and the peach. This will both shape the trees and work to keep them small, as a lot of the plant’s energy is currently in the leaves and branches. The drooping tree in the center is a weeping Santa Rosa plum and does not need pruning. Its natural habit is to form an 8-10 foot green haystack, I’m told. Right now it’s about 5-6 feet. The shaggy thing growing against the green shed wall is a Giant Burmese Honeysuckle.

So many Italian plums ❤️ #tinyorchard #yardfruit #italianplums #fruittrees

The bees have done there job! 🐝 The entire tree is covered in a heap of these little guys, I'm already looking forward to the joy of eating home grown plums, the possibilities will be endless with all the different recipes I could use them in! 😍🌿🎂🙌🏽 - - - - - #plum #tree #homegrown #homemade #tinyorchard #almostspring #lovely #fruittree #cake #cooking #witch #spring #bee #pollination #countrylifestyle
