05.19.20 First Nectarine

Hands down, favorite store bought summer fruit? Nectarines. I could eat them all day long. So, we planted a tree about 4 years ago that is now giving quite a bit of fruit. We removed about 4/5 of the blossoms in early spring and that still doesn’t seem to have been enough because the fruit is beginning to ripen but it’s still pretty tart and small. I sampled the first one of the season today. Tomorrow, I’m going to harvest a good half of the fruit to see if I can get better results with what remains. Stay tuned.
