We moved into our house in November when the leaves had turned and dropped and winter was upon us. We had some idea about the major plants and trees on the property (apple, pear, peach, maple, blueberries, and strawberries). However, we had no idea what our place would look like in the spring and summer. Here are some pictures taken over time so you can see what we are blessed with.
As flowers die back and bushes lose their blooms we have more flowers poking their heads up, so things are still changing even in July.
I don't know how I have managed it, but I have no photos of our heavily laden blueberry bushes nor the apples-in-progress from our many (7? 8? I forget) apple trees. We have picked over 10 pounds of blueberries so far and have many, many to go as the season progresses.

We have official raspberry bushes like the one shown here. We also have volunteer raspberry and blackberry canes that have taken over part of the blueberry bushes, which is not good. I don't look forward to hacking those out, but the blackberries are so very tasty!
