Orchard update. I need to start picking black caps, the apples are slowly getting thinned at the rate the geese will eat them, and there are peaches and a few Brooks plums.

None of the pears or apricots set fruit or the other plum tree. I think this Brooks plum was probably a year older, it had big roots when I planted it.

Should see some open bloom on the Gravenstein apples this coming week. At the 'late pink' stage.

The Brooks plum, Comice pear, and Bosc pear will bloom this year. They were planted last spring. Not sure if I can keep any fruit on the pears, but the plum should be able to support a few fruit.
