This year has been a very good year for blossom. Our plums and greengages didn't have lots of flowers, but considering last year they had virtually no blossom at all, we were happy with that.
Next came the pear trees that were covered with flowers. Now the apple trees are loaded. The Tickled Pink tree - below on the left - has never had as much blossom.
Last week, during daylight hours, you could almost believe that it was summer. The clear blue skies came with a downside: as the sun set, the temperature plummeted. Sudden extreme temperature fluctuations are not what is needed when trying to raise seedlings.
Ruby's coat was very thick, so we arranged for the groomer to bring forward her visit. This was three weeks early. We determined that if the weather changed, it would be easier to keep Ruby warm than to keep her cool in higher temperatures.
