it’s mulberry, chamomile and random flower season over here. I ate the first ripe wild strawberry, tiny and delicious. the big ones have fruit but it’s still white, no where near ripe.
unripe breba fell off the fig tree.

I have 4 more hanging on the tree and this is the only “perfect” one. It still a tad firm. Hopefully it can hang a few more days before I pick it.

How are your grenade pluots taste this year? They were not bother with disease, did they??
They are more ripe than I pulled them last year so they are sweeter. Still a big sour component, but I like it.
I have no comparison as I don’t know what they are supposed to taste like.
Some are dropping so I’m not sure how much further I can go with them from this photo.
Notice what must be a bird bite on it. This is typical for the ones with this much blush.

I realized didn’t answer your question.
This is the second uear fruiting. Zero insect damage or apparent disease. Only what may be some bird strikes…
This year it’s unsprayed and uncovered.

Thank you for your replies. Your updates on this pluot giving me hope about mine. Hopefully mine will thrive and giving fruit in couple years.

Every single pluot and peach of mine this year was basically inedible. So much of what I only assume to be plum curicilio larvae in them. I will begin some spraying next year perhaps, since my kaolin clay attempts did not seem to work. The couple of bites I managed around the worms were delicious though (on the peaches and one pluot) the rest were too damaged. But I destroyed them (via chickens) so hopefully I can correct my mistakes moving forward. Glad yours are undamaged. My first 2 years were like yours, year 3 I could salvage some and this year basically total loss.

Yeah I am anticipating they (whoever/whatever they are) will eventually find my tree.
Honestly, except for my residential lot, I don’t know if PC even exists here in any numbers as there are almost no fruit trees in this area of Louisiana beyond a few citrus, a few figs, and a handful of cooking pears.
Do they only live where fruit is?

I had the same thought as where I live it’s a fruit desert also. But they found me, it’s like a “if you build it, they will come” sort of scenario I think.

Getting good size on this Hosui.
Can someone chime in on cold storage recommendations for Hosui? Does it improve in the fridge?
Last year I ate a few after they turned quite golden…they were OK but I think they can be improved.
Thanks.

Pretty standard garden plant, but first time we are growing scarlet runner beans and I just think the blooms are so pretty!

Allspice berries (Pimenta dioica). Apperently they are picked unripe and then dried to be made into the spice of commerce. The tree is too tall to really harvest, so I might as well let them ripen and try them like that.
