Lemon dipped nectarines went in the dehydrator last night :)
(Edited)
Five stones are being kept from each variety of fruit we are currently collecting. After spending a few months in our fridge (to trick them into thinking it is winter & speed up the growth) they will be planted in pots, so that when we move from this place we will bring with us the incredible variety on offer here in the agricultural region of the French Pyrenees.

I love nectarines and have such find memories of them!!
When I was a girl in Australia - newly arrived immigrant and all that - my Dad made a small garden plot for each of us. My brother dutifully grew tomatoes and radishes, my sisters grew beans and flowers and I gave my plot to a little nectarine tree I grew from a stone in an old jam tin. Dating myself LOL. It gave such abundant fruit for a decade and more.
Love seeing your abundance - it reminds me constantly to focus on all that we think and create, and what we believe about the world.
Much love from Thailand.
Jam tin? Yep, before my time ;) Which only makes you wiser!
Excellent story there. You clearly sensed the importance of permaculture at an early age. I was too busy growing weed to think about much else!
We are in a sweet spot here with the perfect climate for so many things. Feeling very blessed.
Oh I am getting more and more jealous !!!!!!
My arm muscles are actually aching today from all the hazelnut picking I did yesterday. Have figured out now how to slowly bend each branch down to my level giving me access to every last one.
It is truly spectacular what is on offer for free here. And as ever, I appear to be the only person in the village picking it! Yay :)
Fingers crossed on the stones sprouting.

There is so much conflicting info on YouTube about how to sprout these seeds. Hopefully the tricking nature option turns out to be a good decision!
