A close-up shot shows several yellow quinces, some whole and some cut, on a dark, mottled surface. The quinces appear to have water droplets on their skin. In the foreground, two wedge-shaped slices and one half of a quince reveal the light yellow flesh and dark seeds within. In the background, a pile of whole quinces is visible, some stacked on top of each other. The lighting highlights the texture of the fruit and the surface it rests on.

Guess who noticed, that the sun just came out? #Blossoms 🌱
We're really late, so yesterday there were six trees with blossoms, and today has doubled that amount. I just cleared a hidden quince and two lilacs that wild bushes had crowded in on. #Crabapple #Quince #Apple #Peach

One peach tree has blossoms.
New to blossom trees, about 4-5.
The Asian Pear tree has the most blossoms, then Plum, and now quince.

A vivid pink tree blossom, much brighter than Apple, it's crabapple. There's small fruit but I grow these just for that awesome week when the entire tree canopy is pink

A new blossom, not quite open, just 5 pink buds

We've been waiting on these. Weeks behind the warmth of the city, soft pink peach blossoms have opened today

🫖 I made my first cup of #quince tea from the dried quince offcuts. There are much more complicated recipes but I just infused the offcuts in the coffee press (handy for making herbal teas too), and sipped without sweetener.

🫖 It was interesting and very nice. Hints of lemon, apple, herbs. Gentle. Surprisingly it doesn't need sweetening. I'll dry some more.

🫙 Sadly, the quince vinegar developed some unwanted intruders - it happens and I am thankful that I have only ever had 1 other ferment go awry. I wasn't paying as much attention to it as I did the grape vinegar. But thankfully the citrus scrap vinegar is looking fiiiiine.

🫙 🟠 So today I'll start some more quince vinegar and 1 or 2 other quince ferments.

11 years ago we became owners of a summerhouse. 7 years ago I planted this quince and not once it has given any fruits (and it's supposed to be self-pollinated) but the flowers are very beautiful so it's forgiven every spring.

Guess how many blossoms my #quince #tree has? 😂

A close-up shot of a delicate, light pink and white flower, possibly a quince blossom, is the main focus. The flower has visible orange-tipped stamens. It's set against a backdrop of green leaves, some edged with a hint of orange. The lighting is bright, casting shadows that add depth to the image.

Wow I've never had so many quince flowers. Maybe this is the year we'll finally get some fruit.

Close up of some quince flowers. They are dark pink on the outside, pale pink on the inside, with yellow stamens in the center. We also see green leaves and blue sky, making the photo a big jumble of bright colors.

Fragrance of Japanese quince (Chaenomeles japonica) is what makes me long for fall and harvest season. It's divine.
Making wine with fruits from the garden (plums, cornelian cherries, apples and pears). First time working with these so yolo, let's see how does that turn out.

Now it's actually time to bottle so I am looking forward.

Zwei Blüten eines Quittenbaums leuchten hell zwischen frischen, hellgrünen Laub; auf einem Blatt ist ein Asiatischer Marienkäfer zu sehen

This is a close-up photograph of a single, oval-shaped leaf. The leaf displays a mix of colours, with a prominent light green in the centre transitioning to a brownish-orange around the edges. The surface of the leaf appears slightly fuzzy or downy. Fine veins are visible across the leaf's surface. The leaf is attached to a thin, brown stem. In the blurred background, hints of other green leaves suggest the leaf is part of a larger plant. The lighting is soft and natural, highlighting the texture of the leaf.

Just some #bloomScrolling before I need to get things done today. Have a wonderful Saturday! 🌸🌞

A close-up shot showcases a cluster of vibrant, deep pink blossoms. The flowers feature delicate petals surrounding a centre of bright yellow stamens. A slender, greyish-brown stem supports the blooms. The background is softly blurred, hinting at more blossoms and green foliage, creating a bokeh effect that draws focus to the central flowers. The overall impression is one of springtime freshness and natural beauty.

In which #BarackObama and I have at least one thing in common. He “dined at #Quince in #SanFrancisco, one of the Bay Area’s only three-Michelin-star restaurants, on Wednesday evening.” https://www.sfchronicle.com/food/restaurants/article/obama-sf-restaurant-20290491.php?utm_source=marketing&utm_medium=copy-url-link&utm_campaign=article-share&hash=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2ZjaHJvbmljbGUuY29tL2Zvb2QvcmVzdGF1cmFudHMvYXJ0aWNsZS9vYmFtYS1zZi1yZXN0YXVyYW50LTIwMjkwNDkxLnBocA%3D%3D&time=MTc0NTUzNjA4NzQ2OA%3D%3D&rid=OTQ3NTU1OGItMjA2My00MWQ2LWJkOWMtNzM2NjY0MzJkOTRk&sharecount=Mg%3D%3D
