Spring
Wee. I was just outside getting food for my guinea pig, and I realized how MUCH I love this time of year. From late Febuary through at least the end of July,t here'll always be at least two kinds of flowers. Right now, we have four apple trees blooming and there's some bush with lots of white flowers that's in bloom all up and down the drive. Pretty! The plums in the yard barely stop blooming when the apples start. And yes, all of these are fruit bearing trees. Our front yard is something of an orchard.
Actually, to be honest, this is the first year two of the apples have ever bloomed, and they were planted from seed, so we don't know what they'll produce. Could be nasty crab apples - but another tree planted at the same time or thereabouts produces some WONDERFUL apples. ^^ They may be seeds from the same batch of apples and thus hopefully the same type, but there's no way to know... Till they're ripe at the end of summer.
