I bought new boots, and they are a huge upgrade for my old boots. I should have done this years ago! So much lighter, so much more comfortable.
Also, my backyard apricot tree produced a fantastic crop this year. The freezer is full of fruit for making jam in autumn when the weather is cooler, and the dehydrator has been running nightly.
Your apricots are beautiful!
And yay, new work boots! I just got new work boots too. They're the same as my old boots, because my old boots lasted me years of heavy abuse and were super comfortable but I didn't realize how much the tread had worn down on the old ones. The new ones are so much thicker as a result and the first day I wore I put them on and almost fell face first down the stairs outside my apartment at 5 am. I actually fell up the stairs a couple days ago and of course some guy I didn't know was right behind me watching.
Yeah, a good pair of boots is a wonderful thing. "Never cheap out on anything that separates you from the ground" and all that. My old pair are heavy-duty hiking boots that have taken me all over the mountains. But my feet are getting wider as I get older. A bad blister last week finally spurred me to shop for something new.
Whoa!!! I love apricots! For some reason, it’s not a popular tree to grow at home in comparison to lemon, lime, plum, fig, or even loquat.
Is the care/climate needs similar to other stone fruits?
My region is known for cherries and (to a lesser extent) peaches. So as far as climate goes, I would say they fit right in with other stone fruit.
As for care, I am a clumsy and sometimes negligent caretaker. The tree is well established in my backyard and does not seem to need much aside from water. I prune it every year or two (my pruning jobs are ugly but the tree doesn't seem to care). The biggest chore is picking up all of the fallen fruit before it attracts too many wasps.
Ooo that’s dope! There are farms that grow em in my area but I always thought it was interesting that people aren’t as into growing them at home.
I guess if one didn’t have a ton of space, a lemon tree is really handy haha.
