pepper flowering, a candy roaster squash, sunflower volunteer, meyer lemon tree doing a lot all at once, the first tomato! (hogheart).
We are very excited because we have fruitlets on our garden prince almond, flavor supreme pluot, Toka plum, Packham’s triumph pear, Utah giant cherry, Bing cherry, black Tartarian cherry, Montmorency cherry, English morello cherry, silver logan peach, Rio Oso gem peach, harko nectarine and Improved French prune. Not a lot of fruitlets on any of them, but so happy to see them start producing.
Such a gorgeous fruit. I wish I could grow it here.
Veilchenblau
American Pillar
Pauls himalayan musk
First cherries
Dianthus superbus
Melanargia galathea
Rhinanthus alectorolophus
Scabiosa columbaria
These two broke the small branch they were on so I pulled them.
Anyone have experience with Hosui and how long to refrigerate for best flavor?
Of course I don’t know if these are far enough along to ever get to eating ripe. This is 1 month before I picked my first very small crop last year (it’s first year to bear).
Please ignore your local calendar. Everything happens much faster down here.
Beautiful!!
That’s a great picture. Nice.
Illini Blackberries, brightwell blueberries.
Found a few more gerardi ripe… but they did not make it back to the house.

I started drooling when I saw your berry pic……like Pavlov’s dog.
