Chooks and Fruits Trees part 2

A couple of months ago we had about 200ml of rain, the fruit trees have grown like never before.
Hopefully the fruit holds and the bugs don't bite!!
Our lemon tree was here when we bought the property, it isn't the prettiest looking tree, but it produces an unbelievable amount of fruit, continuously.  We have had some strong wind and quite large branches of been broken off..... probably because it was laden with too much fruit.  I have taken bags of fruit to our local fish and chip shop, bags to patchwork and aqua, and still there is more fuit.
Strawberries are a favourite of mine, but unfortunately some little people love  them too..... you have to be quick to get a ripe one.
 
A perfect apply blossom.
 
Baby apples.
 
We have a variety of peach trees, not sure of their names.  Our favourite is a very big juicy yellow peach. Mr B grafted this peach from one we tasted on a trip to Wagga Wagga years ago.
 
Looking forward to eating and preserving lots of produce from the fruit trees.
