Apricots are a few weeks behind this year but it's looking good for a bumper crop of the sweetest fruit imaginable!
Go large for Spanish plain scenery.

I love the sense of depth in this scene, Andy. The apricots add the ideal foreground interest. All the best, Joe

Thank you, Joe!
I should have added more detail to the notes, I do sometimes forget that not everyone knows where I live in Spain! People do occasionally ask me what the far distant mountains are. Well, they're part of the Sistema Central, a series of chains of mountains that cross the centre of the Iberian peninsula about half way up and passing close to Madrid. The main sections are the Sierra de Gredos (scene of that great book and film 'For Whom The Bell Tolls') and further east, The Sierra de Guadarrama (sometimes called the mountains of Madrid).

Fantastic landscape here - and to think you will soon have apricots straight from the tree - wow. I'm sure your sister will know what's planted in that vegetable patch. My daughter has lemons, oranges and pomegranates in her garden - it must be great to pick them all fresh. Her husband loves being in the garden and is growing all salad vegetables - wish he was here to have a go at my garden.

Thank you, Jenny!
As mentioned in my earlier reply, the garden is 100% my brother-in'law's. All my sister is expected to do is cook the proceeds!
However, I know exactly what's grown, as follows: courgettes, red and green peppers, chillies, garlic, many types of onion, lettuce, green beans. Chives. Mint, rosemary, thyme, oregano, spring onion, aubergines. 3 types of potato, celery, leeks,.apricots, pears, plums, blackberries. Gooseberry (unheard of in Spsin but he's giving them a go this year. ), various squashes and cucumbers, and cherries and last but not least, many different tomato varieties. Enough to fill 2 of their three freezers and.give lots away to friends. It keeps him off the streets anyway!

Oh wow, he's definitely a horticulturist isn't he? Ideal too for making sure you always have plenty of vegetables and fruit. Amazing
