Mmm...Figs! The first round of figs have arrived and are honey sweet.
Grapes are turning pretty quick and with the heat it's happening rapidly.
The garden continues to produce nearly daily. The well water is a huge blessing for the garden and the vines this season with a relentless heat wave of over 100 degrees on more days then not.
Our new plum trees had a few plums come to full ripe. We hope next year to have enough for a few rounds of jam.
The orchard is surviving the blistering heat. Art has been meticulous watering the trees and we have lost a few to poor roots but overall the majority are holding on. Next year we may even have enough fruits to test.
We stocked up on glass jugs and new corks this week for wine and more raki. And hand harvested the thana's to start fermenting a batch for raki. This will take about two months before we still the fruit for a batch of raki.
Making the most of the hot days inside. I have nearly completed the first draft of the third book in the Ember in Time series.
How do you spend the hot summer days?
