The first berries are starting to change color in our earliest Cabernet Sauvignon blocks. About two more months until we pick.
Yields are high this year.

My flowers have finally started going! (Besides borage and nasturtuims!)
I am really excited this Zinnia has that vibrancy, almost neon color towards the middle. I saved seeds from unknown variety and was hoping that trait would carry on!
FINALLY! First artichoke bloom has bloomed!!
@Melon that mulberry stick you gave me I got four cuttings from it. Looks like a couple are doing their best, trying!
First Tigridia bloom from this weekend! Came home yesterday and there were two more but already on their way out.
Picked cherries at my parent’s house Saturday morning and here’s what I got.
Three grocery bags ended up being justbenought to fill my huge steamer pot! A good 15lbs.
A tip for pitting cherries!
A paperclip works amazingly.
Insert into cherry and pull back out usually takes the pit easily. Sometimes may need to use a slight scoop motion, but its fast and you don’t miss many this way. Or if you accidentally put the pit into your pitted cherries bowl!

We had those at my work as decoration. One year it had a bunch of fruit and I was surprised that it tasted pretty good. Probably wasn’t smart to eat because who knows what has been sprayed and blown onto them, but I was happy to get a taste.

@Arbyhaze … shallow cultivation is the key… I use a stirrup hoe… and just slice the weeds off and try to disturb the soil no more than an inch deep.
There is only so much weed seed in the soil… if you cultivate no more than a inch deep… after 3 times… there is hardly any weed seed left that can germinate.
I will be harvesting that corn soon… it is very near ready… cultivated it 3 times.

Ever try Salmonberries.They taste similar but a little sweeter.
We have volunteer salmonberries on our property and I won’t eat them. I try one or two a year but they are not only bland, but bitter. There must be much better ones elsewhere, and perhaps the bitterness I taste is one of those compounds that only some people are genetically able to taste.

First peanut butter fruit! It finally had a flower get pollinated. Very very excited, that would be the first tropical fruit I grew that wasn’t a passionfruit or pea.
Egusi watermelons. These are grown for the seeds, which I plan on roasting and making soup with.

Toka is a real winner. The tartness in the skin transorms to a strong flowery simonii plum aroma and high brix!

English Morello cherries
They’re pretty tiny. Are they normally really small or is it just because my tree is young?
