Hello dear friends. In the previous post, I wrote to you about the part of my mother's yard where there are flowers. There are many more flowers, but today I will show you the fruit that my mom has in the yard. Just to tell you, the yard is not very big, it is only 5 ares. There is also a house, so there is not much space for a garden, but believe me, mom has everything. We'll start with our favorite fruit:
FIG The oldest of the three fig trees that mom has in her garden is almost 30 years old. We are expecting her second birth soon. We have already harvested the first one and made marmalade.
GRAPES This grape vine was planted when the house was built, which was in 1973. After my father's death, I took over the care of the grapes. I prune it in the spring, tie it up, and protect it from frost in the winter. It is extremely tasty and apart from using it in food, we also make juice from it.It will be ripe in early August.
BLUEBERRY, BLACKBERRY AND CURRANT There are enough berries for us to eat, and sometimes blackberries produce a little more, so we make juice from them.
In addition to this fruit, we also have walnuts, hazelnuts, and silver firs in the garden. I hope you like my childhood garden and yard. We spend the summer and weekends there, because we live in Belgrade (my son, husband and I), and my mother is in Loznica, a city 135 km from Belgrade. Mom is already old and unfortunately, blind, but she is a great fighter and believe me, she is doing very well considering that she lives alone.
A big greeting from my mom and me!
Thank you for taking the time to view and read my post!
