A bountiful harvest

The Norland apple tree is loaded with another bumper crop (like last year).  The trunk had split during a storm in August 2010, but it's healing (hopefully well).
The raspberry we got from a friend will need to grow for a few years before we can get a good harvest:
The Heyer 12 apple is still not doing well 2 years after we transplanted it.  Looks like the root system is still not recovered as there is not much foliage, but there are quite a few apples:
The red currant bush is brimming with berries even after I picked some off.  It's a real pain to harvest though!
As you can see, we were painting the fence after 7 years since it was erected.  The colour matches the stucco colour of the house (light green).  We didn't get any Saskatoon berries again because the birds got most of them already!  Have to put a net around them next year.  We bought 4 L of fresh Saskatoon berries from the Farmer's Market at Peavy Mart yesterday for $18.
