Stone fruit season
This is the stash that David just bought from an orchardist in Franklin, the same one we bought our apple box vegetable beds from. I just ate the first apricot I've eaten in years, because so many of them are tasteless and floury. Well not these ones. Yum.
I can remember looking forward to the summer fruits more than anything. When peaches were huge and juicy and soft, apricots were tasty and rich, raspberries were tangy .... I could go on and on.
Escaped Sydney in 2010 for Tasmania's beautiful Huon Valley. Fan of almost anything German (food, language, cars, beer), keen walker, remote worker, tree-changer, Bernese Mountain Dog owner, amateur linguist, incompetent gardener, chook fancier, childfree. I do love your comments, thanks for dropping in!
