Our new cherry netting was a bit late in arriving due to a slow ship!?️ Just a slight mad panic to get it up today as the birds were already attacking the still green cherries.? Thankfully the damage was minimal as Big Bertha (our bird scarer) has helped fend off the marauding flocks 😉

Our little apricots are growing up… ? #growyoubeautifulthings

From blossoms to ‘baby’ apricots

Some more blossom pics from around the Orchard 🙂 ?

First night of frost fighting this season and it was a long one.? As always Little Toot the pump tractor served us well and was hard at work from midnight until 9am.
Here’s a few pics I took at first light.

Apricots out in full bloom. ??

The first “Earli Ril” apricot blossoms…..Frost fighting is not far away  😉 #readytoroll

Will be frost fighting in a couple of weeks so gave Little Toot (the pump tractor) an oil and filter change and ran the overhead sprinklers in preparation for the big kick-off ?? #frostfighting #springalmosthere #whoneedssleepanyway

Here’s a few shots of me and Ruby planting out new trees to replace old unproductive ones. 🙂 We have planted over 300 so far and only have 130 to go when the next order arrives in a week’s time 🙂 #teamhobbs
