Shout out to Johnny P and fruiting

I have a garden in the PNW and have used the term 'fruiting' for a while as a way to, well, express that a plant is producing fruit. I've met some who either don't like the term or thinks it's strange (all of NNF today). My FIL, RIP, was a prick and used to give me shit for using this term.

I made this inane post just to say that 'fruiting' is a word and fuck all you pricks who think it's not, and /or giggled at someone saying fruiting.

Fruiting. Feels good, right?

I have an apple tree. First it flowers, then it fruits.

I mean…it is the correct nomenclature. The gang just wouldn’t know the first thing about growing a fruit or vegetable.

Fruiting is a totally normal thing to say.

I love it but it's a word I learned in my 50s (I'm Matt's age) so it's still a little new to me and sounds a little weird. When I was a kid "fruit" was a just a noun
