To put you in the mood here's a brief video of what's going on at Tre Soli
This is one of our white nectarines that give us some of the most supreme fruit we grow. One of our interns after tasting al of our fruits all season in order to learn how to detect ripeness said, "Now This IS The Best I've Tasted!" Unfortunately they are very sensitive to the warm days of winter and so have been known to loose early blooms and therefor later fruit. Makes them more precious? We'll keep you posted on their progress.
Most of our stone fruit pruning is done. We still have some fine pruning to do.
If you are an experienced fruit tree pruner and have some spare time we could use some extra hand power to boost ours. Send an email or DM our Instagram.
This is what we have started to harvest now. OMG citrus!!! No filters and on my computer screen, the color is accurate. If you've never had fresh from the tree
oranges, tangerines, grapefruit, lemons, limes or tangelos then you haven't really had citrus. Like a home grown tomato compared to a winter hot house tomato there is no comparison. And of course has been grown for almost 30 years with only organic inputs.
Our citrus has flavor, sweetness and just a slight tang that is addictive. Our grapefruit is not sour and doesn't taste like aspirin. You never need to put sugar on it to enjoy.
Did you know that Vitamin C is fragile? The rind is a semi permeable membrane that allows heat and light and air to enter once it leaves the tree. Consequently once picked, citrus to retain it's nutritional value, should always be kept out of sunlight, and heat. A bag of citrus in the sun by a road side makes me cringe. More importantly it will not have as much flavor or nutrition as when it left it's tree.
We are doing custom harvests per your request. Harvest will be on the chilly morning that you choose to pick up to ensure the freshest, tastiest, most nutritious citrus.
If you'd like to order drop us and email or DM on our Instagram.
Above is Koko Loko.
Not a new one but a young rose that takes a while to establish. We only sold a few last year. It was prolific but still small with short stems. Her fragrance is so soft but sweet and a bit cinnamon to my nose. Stay tuned because she may take off this year & if she does we'll put them in your hands.
We are still fine tuning the pruning of our roses and though we keep saying we won't add more we did. Just a few. An old favorite that has been off the market for years is "Betty White" Nobody doesn't like Betty White! This rose is a lovely blush with a sweet fruity fragrance and just saying it's namesake brings smile sand laughs to everyone who meets her. We can't wait to have more of these available this year.
We are continuing to create smalll batches of botanical infused items. Last fall we used our fresh cut lavender. This spring our items will be rose centric. Rose hydrosol is a favorite of mine in the warm seasons. It is made purely of our rose petals grown with only organic inputs and H2O.
Let us know if you are interested in knowing when it becomes available.
This is a favorite Cornishware mug. I chose a group of striped mugs for a Christmas set and had them personalized with all sorts of words. At the time I was thinking about the Spirit of Christmas but I find I steep my tea in it when I want to believe in many things...
that the world is full of good people,
that a friend's health will return,
that my seeds will germinate,
that Spring is on it's way
In what do you want to, need to BELIEVE
These mugs are made in the UK by a couple who is repatriating this classic pottery. It's a great "local" story that I have adopted. Delightful Instagram posts if you are interested...@cornishware
Please let me say a few words about when I post about a business. I am never paid, never have been. Often they never even know that I have posted about them. It isn't to get a 'bump". I just like to support other people who I respect and who create things that I enjoy and use.
OK! Hope to hear from you or see you soon. Please let us know what you'd like to know about or have us grow for you. We are here to serve and please lovers of good clean things from the earth.
