Started May 8, but things grow really slow here until July. I should have started them a month or more earlier indoors.

Next to a volunteer dandelion! Looks like an entire spring salad mix with the one plant.

VK’s Umpqua Italian Plum. Grafted April of 2023 - topworked on a lousy apricot. 10 - 15 foot new growth and about a dozen fruit this year.

July prince? It took almost 3 weeks to ripen after it started getting red.
everyday harvest this time of year
with my coffee looking over the morning garden; lots of things ripening.
winter squashes getting a good start
figs, plums and peppers not ready yet.
sunflowers starting to drop. corn starting to silk.
winter melon, a favorite orange volunteer, and eggplant flowering
cukes and melons gone feral
one day I swear I will grow okra successfully here
fennel and beans almost there. bees all over everything.

Last of the China Pearl peaches, harvested 23 of them from a 5yr old tree. Big thumbs up on them… Great taste, freestone, not too prone to brown rot, etc…

Taking a good mess of okra, squash, tomatoes to my SIL/daughter/granddaughters home today.
Granddaughter loves sungold tomatoes.

Harvest today. Some drops, most ripe. Yellow jackets are circling big time so I’m trying to get fruit with rots and pecks off the trees.
Pink Pearl, one pink sugar, Virginia beauty, red delicious, one labeled Black twig, mollies delicious, chojuro, seckel, Ayers, red Haven, Belle of Georgia. I’ll make a few sampler bags for neighbors.
As before, Korean giant are getting, well, giant. Can’t wait till they are ready. Dripping honey not quite there yet.
I like the comparison tasting more than a big harvest. Good thing, too, as I never seem to have tons of apples, but lots to sample with some 200 grafts.
I miss my sampling companion Katie so much. The second year of apples since my sweet girl is gone.

That looks like Tupelo, it’s not really considered an edible but very good for honeybees.

Pink Pearl bakes pretty well, too.
