Blossoms

Last week our fruit trees were in full blossom. Very beautiful and fragrant. The trees loaded with blossoms make me think we could have a bumper crop, if the strange weather we have been experiencing doesn't cause problems. As soon as the petals fall is a good time to spray the trees with an insecticide to prevent worms in the fruit at harvest. You see, the eggs are laid in the blossom and the fruit grows around them. When you find a worm hole in an apple, it means the egg hatched and the worm has crawled out. A preventative spraying is preferable.

The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God. Isaiah 35:1,2
