| A clump of loquats ripen on one of our two loquat trees, April 2011. |
It's hard to believe that it was only a year ago I tasted loquats for the first time. Looking back at
last year's blog report, I've realized that the loquat crop is coming later this year. We had a tree full of ripe loquats by the end of March last year. And on
April 18, 2010, we were gathering loquats by the wagon-full and attempting to make loquat jam, which was not a great success.

| A small part of last year's loquat harvest, April 18, 2010. |
But this year, only one small clump of loquats has turned yellow and it's already mid-April. Last year the loquat trees produced fruit until
June, so it will interesting to see how the late start affect's this year's harvest season. I guess it's time to start looking up the recipe for loquat jelly that I discovered in
my great-grandmother's cookbook...
