Crimson star goji producing a lot.
Guess I missed a carrot last year. Will intentionally do this from now on as the flowers are profuse, pretty and covered in parasitic wasps!
onions in bloom in the raised pallet wood bed, and some tomatoes and squashes coming along on the mound.
BTW I ate the last of the Thomcord last week at a higher Brix. Definitely tastes like the Concord grape juice of childhood. I’ve never had a Concord grape as we only get 2 or 3 varieties in stores down here.
It’s not quite as bold as Concord, but a hell of a lot more flavorful than it’s other parent, Thompson.
Tomorrow AM is harvest day for my Errante Noir! Brix now at 20.8 and pH 3.32
I have an old, seeded Concord variety. The seedless Cs are prone to rot, but the seeded ones grow like wild grapes and need no intervention here in the humid SE. Concords are so underrated.
I love how the colors of your flowers and fruit complement each other!
Are these Shiro?
No,Sorriso di Primavera.
Does that survive winter for you or do you grow it as an annual?
I just planted it late this spring so I’m not sure yet. Probably wouldn’t have this last winter but that wasn’t typical.
I added a few tropical water lilies in tubs. The blooms will ultimately be held 4-6 inches above the water but are just barely breaking the surface now as the plants recover from shipping. The varieties are Islamorada and Murasaki Shikibu, both of which are viviparous so the can make new plantlets at the leaf/stem junction. So even though the main plants will die in the cold I can nurse some babies along under lights through the winter to restart the tubs next spring.
I was hoping to get some mini lotus to do this with in the furure. This water lilly flower you chose has such a nice flower!!
Big Beef tomatoes.
We are eating Bacon & Tomato sandwiches regular now. One of the best things of summer.

No lettuce on the sandwich? gasp!
Hehe, I only have a few tomatoes forming right now. I am looking forward to those sandwiches!! (And tomato eggdrop soup!)
