Unknown grafted J plum starts to ripen. Didn’t thin enough size is small. Red skin, red flesh, tart skin. Not very sweet but has light plum aroma. I can peel the skin off easy

The nice thing about dahlias is that deer don’t care much for them. The drawback is having a cool place to store them over winter. Also they are slow to bloom. I started mine in pots a month early, and they are just starting to bloom now.

They look awesome!!! Great job with everything, but especially plums, figs and jujubes.

I planted them very deep so in my zone they will stay in ground not coming out and since your zone is lot colder then mine you have to bring them inside. They are slow to bloom is true but flower stay open for so many days.

Salavatski pomegranate, it is growing good but I know it will get fungus.
If anyone figure out effective fungus treatment please share ?

@Naeem - you grow so much so well…
My CH Fig this evening. So many figs… none ripening or sizing up yet… but so many… slowly getting larger. I may have to look into preserving some… fig jam ? Dried figs ?

@TNHunter Thanks! You are growing so much and very good I am really impressed.
I will train my tomatoes double stems next year like you are doing and want to do corn too but I do not have a space.
Here is the link for the figs post I started while back you may look, I am updating all my figs in this post.

It was hot and the animals were hungry so we picked everything earlier than the supposed harvest date. Turned out they know better than we do, because everything tastes great.
Canadice grape: small but very sweet, very pretty
Himrod grape: sweet and a little tangy, very good
Sugar Twist: very good crunchy or soft
Fortune plum: firm, sweet, a little sour but thin skin, very good flavor
Kelsey plum: The green one is still a little bitter. The other was very good, firm but juicy and sweet, the thin skin is a little sour. Very good plum. The last few years we waited until they were soft and sweet, by then the texture was like baby food and they ended up in the jam.
The new Era apple was having some heat stress so we thinned a few. Even for the very small one the skin is not bitter, the flesh actually gets more sour on the bigger one. They are good in a little salad, with lettuce and tomatoes that are surprisingly still alive under the hot sunlight.

And if you didn’t know, daylily buds, blossoms and also the root ‘nodules’ are all edible.

I too am impressed with your two stem tomato growing. Would you be willing to start a thread next spring showing the rest of us how it’s done? The wire cages I’ve been using just don’t cut it.
