Those are beautiful pictures there. You should post the in the Picture of the Week POW thread.

Meanwhile... ole granny smith is still blooming. I don't know what's up with that tree. But even if a small precentage of the flowers set fruit, the tree will self destruct from the apple load. I'll have to wait and see what sets. I'm already thinking I may have to thin to only king fruit, that will remove 4 apples per cluster. IDK... not complaining at all... some apples are better than no apples. But one would think the tree should know when to stop.

Also another oddity... several of the peach trees bloomed a second time also. Maybe it was the 12 inches of rain we recieved, IDK... maybe it's going to be a big harvest to.make up for being robbed by cicadas last year.
