Earlier today, I was out watering my front yard. It has been hot in Southern California!! Hot!!! At least since it is almost October. 86 to 90 degree Fahrenheit. My plants do want lots of water!!
I planted a lot of trees in my front yard and used half barrels to create a sort of fence to keep dogs from running in and little kids from running out. anything planted in pots is a bit more likely to dry out and my watering this summer has been not very consistent.
Imagine how happy I was to find this beauty!
Certainly kissed by the sun. I know there is a contest out there for sun pictures like this - but alas, I forgot what and who and all that jazz.
The next picture turned out like this
The kiwi vine and the yellow bird or paradise are more in focus than the apple.
Well, I am using my iPhone 6 for all my pictures and when the sun is shining, I can't really see what I am taking pictures off. It's point and shoot and hope for the best.
Finally, we can see the apple a little better. It is the Beverly hill variety and this is the very first apple we are getting off that tree.
And the last shot!! Yay!! The apple in all its small red glory. Tomorrow, my little lovely, I will harvest you and see what you taste like!
Do you have apples growing in your yard? Tell me, what are your favorites? When I first moved here, I was told that apples don't grow here. But they do!! And they are delicious - not the varieties - the taste!
So far, my heaviest producers are Ana and Golden Dorsett. At least the Ana apple was developed in Israel and is well suited for warm climates. Both varieties produce twice a year! Hard to beat that!
