I am sorry to say that the apricots are through for another year. We have one tree with a few apricots left but it is one of the trees that was planted here before the first generation of this family moved to this property. Almost none of these apricots even make it to the house, they are eaten by eager mouths while standing under the tree. Even our dogs relax under this tree in the hope that an apricot will hit the ground so that they get a treat. We did dry some of the apricots so we can sell them during the fall and winter months.

The hot weather that we had last week made getting the fruit to the Farmer's Markets a challenge. When the temperature changes that quickly and that drastically the fruit gets really soft really fast. We are on to the next varieties in almost everything now and it's cool again! Oh well I never complain about the cool weather. It could stay in the mid 90's all summer and that would be good for the fruit and great for us!
