before we get to the work at hand, here is colton, who organizes his toys in the kitchen...
apricots - too many of them...
too heavy, and fruits will be small unless thinned and pruned...
directions for thinning are here: Fruit Trees: Thinning Young Fruit...
i think i removed about 75% of the fruit.
and i pruned... the dwarf apricots are in the back in the middle... sungold on the left, and moongold on the right. clematis 'guernsey cream' is in the center. i also planted broccoli, beans, chard, kale and squash.

Wow, your apricot tree is certainly prolific! Are they tasty? I love apricot jam, so perhaps I need one of these in my garden.
Robin, thanks for visiting. This is the trees' 4th year, and their first to fruit, so I don't know what they taste like.
Nice haul. So apricot and what are the 2 other fruit trees ? I forget.
Ha! I had no idea one needed to think apricots. Apricots -- how divine!
