It almost seems miraculous. A few months ago that apricot tree was bare, not a leaf. Suddenly, it sprouted into spring with snowy blossoms and leaves of the tenderest green. And then so many apricots--all the mini variety, no bigger than a plump grape! They were sweet and all the better since they grew in the corner of our yard. We gathered our crop and tossed them in salads with almonds and tarragon dressing, cut them up over vanilla ice cream and stirred them into cake. Oh, and munched quite a few straight from the bowl on the kitchen sink. Tender and so, so sweet. It's gratifying to be a "farmer."

Mini miraculous munchable apricots
