The trees had set a nice first bloom crop and there was a great concern as to whether the trees could hold all this new fruit. There were many anxious days while we watched the petals drop off the orange blossoms, leaving only a little button on the ends of the stems. If the rains had not started when they did, the trees would have released all the little buttons that it couldn't support and much of this season's fruit would have been lost. Even with rain later in the spring or summer the tree would be hard pressed to bloom a second time. So, we are very thankful to have received some much needed rain.
Fruit is a-comin'.
Fruit is a-comin'. Of course, you won't find these words in your songbook, but we like it here in the office. In fact, we're thinking of forming a singing group. Oh, let me please block out that mental picture. Back to the fruit business.
