Tree Following August 2021 - The Quince Count Commences

By Ozhene @papaver

Yes it is that time of year again, we are now properly starting The Quince Count 2021. Just remember that this has to be done in the voice/style of The Count from Sesame Street and all will be well.

Quince Major goes first.....

I would say 'only' two, but after the year the quince trees have had with late frost and a dry Spring that is two more than I expected.

and Quince Minor wades in with one quince to count. This is the result of the late blossom triggered by said late frost/dry Spring, so it is a late baby and very welcome it is too.

There have been bigger counts and a quince now is not a guarantee of a quince next month, but for now I am happy; every quince is considered a gift.

There are more followed trees to be found under the stewardship of Squirrelbasket who hosts this monthly meme (and thank you for doing so).

Stay safe all and be kind.
