Summer orchard tour

My garden-orchard is constantly changing.  Whenever I  think I am done with planting trees, there is always one more thing to plant. Now, I've realized I should accept that I will never be done with the garden. There is always something to add or delete. I've decided that I have enough fruit trees (over seventy) in the orchard. Now my goal is to add a few flowering trees in the orchard to bring color in the spring and summer. In the fall, the ripening fruit provides plenty of color in the orchard.

Summer is the most exciting time in the garden. Everything looks so luscious!

Designing with the fall harvest

Autumn is the time that we harvest many baskets of fresh fruit from the orchard. Keeping up with the rhythm of the season,  I like to display my harvest around the house. As the fall fruit fades away, the citrus will be displyed during winter time.My celebrations of the season synchronized with the harvest from the garden.

Pomegranates and persimmons are displayed around the house in every corner.
