The Lone Apricot
April 19, 2009
You probably are wondering: What the hell I posted such an uninteresting photo here? *sigh* The fact is, this is the ONLY apricot that we’ll get from our beloved apricot tree this year. Yeah, you hear me right.
Last year we had over 300 apricots for 3 weeks that we literally just couldn’t eat fast enough! This February when apricot and plum flowers were ready for bees, unfortunately it was chilly and windy and wet (BTW, that helped a great deal with our drought problem). Not only no bees could be found, but all the flowers got knocked down by the wind… Even though the March weather was perfect for bees to get busy, no flowers left on our apricot and plum trees to welcome them. Very sad… 
So imagine how excited we were when we found ONE apricot and ONE plum! 
[04/24/2009 UPDATE] I was wrong about the plum; we actually have dozens of plums on the high branches!

As long as squirrels or birds or whatever they are get to them first, then, YES!
