Even though I was really really tempted, I didn’t buy any more trees for myself, but I did get three Itsaul Summer raspberries to trial this year. They’re very small, barely rooted cuttings, so I’m not sure how well they’ll do. All I can do it try, and who knows? Maybe I’ll have good luck and be eating raspberries next year.
This Saturday I volunteered at the annual Urban Harvest fruit tree sale, a major local event that brings together hundreds of people, fruit trees, and wonderful coordinators and volunteers who make it all possible. I had a blast catching up with old friends, answering questions, and sharing what I’ve learned over the years. The selection of fruit trees was mostly from Brazos Citrus Nursery, and for the most part looked really good and healthy. I could have stayed out there all day, it was so much fun seeing people explore all the different varieties.
