I don’t get a big beautiful bud break in spring like the temperate growers do, but I do get January fruit and flowers. So I figured lets start the next years thread!
Sharpblue is apperently a very early blueberry. It has had buds since our cooldown in November, and it looks like its going to bloom late Jan/early Feb. Hopefully they don’t ripen till the songbirds go back north.
Almost time to harvest some pigeon peas. Very big harvest from 5 of the trees, 1 is being shy. I was thinking about waiting till they were dry peas, but I think I am going to pick a couple meals worth green and freeze them (other than the ones I eat first!) Fresh they kinda have a cucumbery taste, almost like a bean thats sweet.
Canistel and groundcherries from one of the high school food forests we put in. The canistels are probably a little overripe, they were on the ground. Don’t see any bugs though.
Everytime I see one of those bizarre fruits I’ve never heard or seen before, I always look up if there is a close cold hardy relative, and dream of of there is even a slight possibility of a hybrid😁.
