It is the time of the year that the garden is renewing. Flowers are out, bees are flying, and the veggie garden is starting. The lemon tree is the staple for about another month or so until the raspberries and the blueberries start ripening...and if we ever get a decent crop of cherries!!
It is also the time of the year when I realize how tenuous farming must be. A rain storm during the bloom and the crop drops. I have seen it in our yard. Last year we had very little grapes but a bumper crop of apples. I think this year might be just the opposite. It kind of shows how monocropping can be a real boom or bust economy. We definitely do not do the monocrop...we hardly have a duplicate of anything.
Observing my yard is like looking into a crystal ball. I can start to see the future crops that will be on our table this summer and next winter. Cannot count my chickens before they hatch, but it may look like we will have our first kiwi out of the yard this year. Also hoping to have my first avocado(s), but do not know if anything is pollinating the flowers, which seem to be open only one day and then are gone. Lucky for the tree, there are lots of flowers!! The citrus trees are looking to be loaded. The biggest bloom I have ever seen is about to happen.
Speaking of citrus...the lemon. It is all we are going harvest for the next few weeks. After the mandarins, oranges, and grapefruit are gone, my body seems to still crave the daily vitamin C fix, so I take two lemons, squeeze them and put that into a pitcher of water. No sugar, just lemon and water. Quite refreshing and it really makes you feel good.

Days 571 - 626 Spring Back
Spring is back!! It really never quite felt like winter this year with 70 degree temperatures in the middle of winter and very little rain (until this week!!)
As we wind down the citrus harvest over the next couple of weeks, we will start to see the stone fruit start to develop and grow. Right now it looks like a large Aprium crop is coming and if the Peaches and Nectarines got pollinated before this rain, they too will have large crops. There sure were a lot of blossoms!! And the bees were out working early with all of the warm weather.
The pears and apples are still in the process of flowering. The Asian Pear tree is in full flower and I am hoping that the Bartlett flowers before the Asian Pear drops its flowers...since a pollinator is needed for both. The Cherry tree and the apple trees are just about to explode. I see the citrus trees blooming soon too. Hope there are some breaks in this rainy pattern so that they set a good crop too.
In the veggie garden, I took out the Kale and we now have lettuce starts, a bed of chard, and a bed of beets. Add that to the garlic which is doing really well this year and it looks to be a fine April/May. This is the time of the year when we run out of oranges and grapefruit, so the veggie garden needs to kick in soon.
I have to say, it is pretty cool that we have been harvesting citrus for 4 months solid and fruit since June 1st!! That is 10 months of uninterrupted fruit harvest. I feel spoiled :)
Hope to update this a bit more frequently in the future. Every 4 weeks seems fair...I was a slacker with this eight week delay!!

Days 543 - 570 Year-to-Year Variation
Harvesting mandarins every day for the past 4 weeks is pretty amazing...and although it may seem like we have harvested a lot of mandarins this year, we really have only harvested about 1/2 of what we did last year. Now, last year was a bumper crop of 1127 mandarins and this year is "only" at 582 with probably 100 or so more on the tree.
Which brings me to year-to-year variation and why it is a good thing to have a variety of different types of produce growing in the yard. Some years may be great for the apples but low for the grapes (this year) and others may be just the opposite. By doing this blog, it has me keeping track of all this and I am looking forward to what ten years might look like.
Since the last post, I tallied up what has come out of our little yard and it is pretty amazing. Here you are with the totals and in parenthesis are year1 + year2 quantities. Citrus year 2 numbers are not complete. You can see the affect the late rains had last year, particularly with the grapes and peaches.

Days 508 - 542 Citrus aplenty...but a drought?
Here we are at the end of December and I had to water the citrus trees. Never have I had to water any fruit trees after November 1st, but we have only seen a trace of rain this December...bummer for the ski season and I had to do some watering.
I have to say that the quality of the mandarins are as good as ever. The magical flavors that come from a fresh-picked citrus jsut cannot be bought at the supermarket. I did a little experiment the other day with a mandarin that was sitting on my desk for a few days (perhaps a week) vs. one that I had just picked that day. The one off of my desk tasted like store-bought citrus. It should of course because the ones in the store are just like that. Picked at least a week ago!!
With the lack of rain, I am taking advantage of the time to prune my trees. Did copper spray for the peaches and nectarine trees and have pruned all but the grape vines. No skiing, so I might as well get it done so that when the snow does come to the mountains I do not feel like I need to stay home to tend the garden.
Last year we picked 1080 mandarins and it looks like we are on target for another big harvest. What looked like a light year has me doing a double-take as the fruit starts to change color and "magically" appears on the trees. We are a bit over 250 mandarins for the season so far. Not sure it will be over a 1000 this year, but we should be picking through January and perhaps into February.
By the end of the week, I want to have a tally of what has been harvested for the year and a half that I have been on this quest. Stay tuned!! It should be interesting to see what comes out of a single yard that is planted well.

Days 473 - 507 Citrus Returns to the Table
Breaking 500 days is quite the feat. I was talking with someone the other day and he was saying that he visits his garden every day to do a little of this or that. In a way, this blog is making me visit the garden too. I have too!! Now that the daylight hours are waning, I have to make a real effort to get out before work, otherwise I may find myself in the dark after work.
As the title states, we are finally getting some citrus. Where last year I remember harvesting mandarins on November 1st, it was not until November 17th this year before we decided that it was time. Even now though, the fruit is a little green on the skin...but inside they are bright orange and do they ever brighten the day!!
As I was filling in the days below, I pretty much harvested some quantity of apples each day. Looking at the totals, we have picked over 450 apples this year and I can still see reaching 500. Nice though is that we picked over a 2 month time period. We started harvesting September 17th and we are pretty much winding down now. My daughter asked the other day why we did not have a lot of apples like the farmer who brought apples to their school. I told her that we actually have picked almost 500 apples and now that she understands what the number 500 is, she was pretty excited. She just never sees more than 10 at a time!!
As for the rest of the garden. We still have Kale, I planted garlic a couple of weeks ago and it is sprouting up right now, planted Arugula at the same time and we have a nice bed out there that is about 1/2 inch tall. I planted a cover crop on the other beds to add nutrients and to keep the weeds down as much as possible. I do need to get out to the strawberries though...tons of weeds invading!!
A five-week summary if you do not want to read the details:
Kale: 4 bunches ($8.00)

Days 452 - 472 The Fall Crops
The weather has cooled and the rain pretty much put an end to the fig harvest. The tomato and zuke plants were taken out this week. The change in light really makes a difference in the veggie garden. We still have Kale and I planted more Kale this week in preparation for the winter crop.
The star of the garden is now our Sierra Beauty apple tree. Loaded with "beauty" apples, we have been harvesting about 8 - 10 apples a day. Kids are eating 1 - 2 per day and the grown-ups even more. Bringing some to work each day to share with colleagues is just a pleasure. The fruit is just getting better as it hangs on the tree and soaks up the fall sunlight and experiences the cool fall nights. Our other apple tree, Pink Lady, was just planted last year and although it flowered this year, I removed the fruit to allow the tree to put its energy into growth. Looking forward to enjoying those in a couple of years.
The next time I write will probably see the first of the citrus. The mandarins are not quite as numerous as last year (over 1000 mandarins!!), but I am looking forward to the fresh citrus once again.

Days 431 - 451 Ripe Fruit
Wow, in three weeks we have seen the departure of our pears and now into full swing on the apples and figs. The veggie garden is slowing a bit, although we did harvest 73 tomatoes in the past three weeks!!
Ripe fruit... This reminds me of a workshop I went to at Google last year. At the workshop, there was a nice spread of fruit to have with our breakfast and I was talking with a guy who pointed at a fig and asked, "what is that?" Well, he had lived in the midwest for his life and just moved to the west coast and thus had never seen a fig before. I told him what it was but warned him that it would probably not be very good...and sure enough it was not. On the other hand, we have harvested 77 figs in the past week and a half and they are ripened to perfection.
Why is it that we are allowing ourselves to eat such bad tasting fruit? Will it be some day that we do not even know what a good piece of fruit tastes like? I sure hope not, but for many, there really is no choice. Take it off the supermarket shelf or never eat fruit!! Too bad for those people...because figs are really tasty.
