YES Blueberries are at the market this week. And FORTNIGHTLY until the end of November.
Tweed River Pecans (available at the honey stand this week and next)
Spring time is very beautiful at Tweed River Pecans. Tiny flowers are appearing on the trees. Each of these miniscule buds will grow a new pecan nut over the next six months.
Other photos show the dainty soft green of the new foliage just emerging after winter’s dormancy. Looking closely you can also see the catkins covered in pollen which will pollinate the female flowers.
Nudgel Nuts – Ian is still away – NOT back for another two weeks. Tweed River Pecans are available from Barry at Tweed Caldera Honey.
