Perfect, that answers my question. I’d also rather go simple (and economical).

I didn’t get a chance to hand pollinate my Overleese Pawpaw this year.While looking at the branches though,a fruit cluster is growing.There is a Kentucky Champion,growing fairly close,but there were no flowers.So,the tree is probably,partially self fertile.Hopefully they will grow to maturity.

Stacked some dandelions and took this photo during a rainy day in the orchard.

Bumblebee on a newly planted crab apple on a trellis. Always like seeing native pollinators.

I agree. Love the bumblebees! Your post reminded me that I snapped a pic while my Sugar Pearls apricot was in bloom.

With some Amadiocots,I’m trying one of the hacks that @mamuang used for protecting ripening fruit.A long plastic bread type bag with perforations.Maybe they should have additional,individual nylon footies or organza bags,to disguise them more?

[mamuang]

I grafted Amadiocot 3 years in a row to peach trees. None of them took, unfortunately.

Have any other varieties?If wanted,I should have some wood for 2024.What’s that saying,4th time is the charm?

[mamuang]

I have a Tomcot. Thanks.

It did not wake up this year.!!! Planted in 2015. Died 2023. The most frustrating fruit tree I have ever grown.

I spilled some homemade compost when gardening on patio, so there be tomato and various squash/pumpkin sprouting. This is a photo of a male flower. Iris that came back after being dug up are not as white as they used to be, more colorful. This year since my peach mini carnations have done well through 115 degree heat and long periods of no water, I am planting many more carnations and pinks. I really would enjoy some that are standard sized blossoms with long stems, but nursery does not carry any.

I saw this guy’s video about propagating Fig cuttings and decided to try it.It has been a little over a week.Hopefully in about a month there will be some roots.

might sseem small to many, but it’s early for them here and it made me happy today. I planted 4 varieties this year and had very low expectations. they’re hard for me to grow usually.
