Each year we trim it back because it is taking over the side of the house and I think that helps produce more fruit each year. This year, there have been so many.
There is just something about a beautiful morning, walking outside and picking fresh fruit from your own tree. Its funny to just see the boys outside and stopping for a snack. Its like this- the boys are always hungry so now instead of bugging me- I just send them out to the tree.
I don't have very good food storage skills so I have to count this as something. Just hope that if a time in need arrives it will be fruit bearing season! Oh, I have a back up plan, we will just have to go to the pantry shelves and make one of the 10 boxes of brownies that we have stored up!
Yum!!! And brownies? Double-yum.
ReplyDeletei'm coming to your house if we need any food. i'll bring the dehydrated beans and apple slices. it's not as fun as brownies and kumquats though!
