Flavor rich

Another nicely constructed, planned, and thoughtfully laid out garden. These are so different from my own which tend to wind up in any available unused space, delineated by whatever wood from downed large branches and trees fits the space, with saplings used as support for climbing veggies.

Is that corn in the front, Steve? It looks like maybe beans a little farther back. I can’t tell what is taller and lush in distance.

Yes, that is corn in the front. After that, it’s zucchini, watermelon, cucumbers eggplant , peppers and the lush looking stuff is a bunch of different tomatoes. Then a 3’ walk way , then my other box has radishes, strawberries, lemon cucumbers and pumpkins. Also @ each post I planted sunflowers. I know I probably planted too much, the pumpkins are already taking over.

If you look to the right, you can see a few of my pluot trees, I planted them 3 years ago right off my back deck. They are finally starting to look like a hedgerow, I planted them 7’ apart. Hopefully next summer I’ll be able to walk out on my deck and be able to pick pluots without bending down.

FN, have you tried Flavor Rich? I notice that Adams carries it and I like the idea of a late Sept J. plum- actually probably early Oct here.

I have flavor rich, here it ripens just after flavor king. I’d give it a 3 out of 5, with flavor grenade and flavor supreme being 5 out of 5 and flavor king being 4 out of 5

Flavor Supreme does okay here in N. CA, I have about 80 fruit this year. Bees do visit it, but I hand pollinate also. I always end up thinning a ton of doubles. I think next year, I’m only going to hand pollenate half of it and let mother nature do the other half.

Thanks for your assessment. I think I’ll pass on Flavorich. 80 fruit on your FS is a nice accomplishment.
