Two weeks ago I took off the crop from our early apricot. They were
beautiful, juicy and luscious. Yesterday I checked the middle apricot (the
next one due to ripen) and found they were ripening already where normally
they wouldn't be ready for another 2 weeks. Sadly in the last week the
dreaded fly has arrived and caught me by surprise. I had to destroy most of
them. Sigh.
