Poppies and citrus in full bloom attract tons of bees. Can’t get any better!! Maybe get a much better yield than last year. Much of my citrus collection are in heavy bloom for a few weeks, half are done.

What variety is that?

Not exactly sure. I’ve lost the tag. I found coes golden drop tag under the tree. But I don’t think this is it. Anybody? Any guess?

Goodness… you have your work cut out for you!

my walking onion patch is really taking off. i think ill sell the bulbils this summer to anyone on here wanting some. they thrive and spread on utter neglect. they grow more like a shallot than a onion but the numbers make up for size. also good as a green onion when young.

Local pear

Sweet cherries at the local farmers market, they are delicious, honestly their strawberries and cherries are much better tasting and a lot bigger then what we got from our local farmers market, I don’t really know why

This rooting “Galicia” mulberry was near the back of a row of pots, turned so the fruit weren’t visible, so I didn’t even realize it had a few until now:

I guess I’ll let them ripen since they are already almost there, but that explains why this cutting has grown half as much as the others near it, I guess it’s been holding back growth to ripen the fruit.

it’s the same with scapes, I want to plant from them but I also want to eat them.

food or seeds?
