Despite excessive rut as well as a prolonged drought through the commencement one-half of summer, the fruit crop on our Littleton farm has been splendid this year. Mulberries were abundant inwards June as well as our diverse apple tree as well as pear trees are to a greater extent than laden alongside fruit than I guide maintain seen inwards many years.
Of course, this abundance reflects the fact that nosotros did non guide maintain a belatedly freeze this spring. Though around upslope snowfall cruel inwards March as well as April, the temperature remained relatively mild as well as the blossoms emerged intact. Since I am oftentimes out of town, our farm management mightiness last described equally willful neglect, characterized past times minimal irrigation as well as no role of fertilizers or pesticides; equally a result, the fruit is abundant only non terribly attractive for human consumption. While I mightiness snack on an apple tree or two, close all of the crop is left for the wildlife.
Indeed, nocturnal squabbles guide maintain been evident this past times calendar week equally raccoons as well as skunks raid the fallen fruit. Squirrels, flickers as well as mice likewise partake and, inwards around years, mule deer wander inwards to feast on the bounty. What could last ameliorate for a naturalist than trees that necessitate no maintenance as well as attract a host of wild creatures?
