A very promising fruit crop?

It certainly looks like!

Pomegranates

*

'small apples'

*

'big apples'

entirely organic - no spray - no treatment

with the most delicious flavor - like the apples I remember from my childhood

*

Hazelnuts 

and

Walnuts

*

 A variety of plum 

which has a blaze of wonderful blossoms in mid to late February.

The fruit however, does not fully ripen until late June,

and when ripe the birds quickly devour them!

*

Figs...

...and grapes

Very promising indeed, though we do need rain!

 But please - not today on  St. Jonhannis day,

because it is said:

 "St. Johannis - St. John's rain spoil us the best nuts!"

 *

Also some old German farmer proverbs for June say:

"Wenn kalt und nass der Juni war, verdirbt er meist das ganze Jahr"

which means:

'If June is wet and cold, the barrel and the barn are left empty'

and:

"Soll gedeihen Korn und Wein, muss im Juni Regen sein"

'For grain and wine to thrive, there must be rain in June'

*

 June was and still is - for our region - rather cool this year,

but certainly not wet at all ! 

So, Que sera?  We'll see....

June
