New Hedge

Planted a waxleaf ligustrum (texanum) in place of 1 boxwood today.  Will see if it is happy 1 year from now, and consider replacing all 

Also planted a Golden Euonymus between the avocado and pomegranate.  This is a bush I remember from grandma Paula's yard.

Last pomegranates

Last figs this year

Pineapple guava

Figs are nearly done.  Pineapple guavas falling everywhere 

Fun harvest day

Limes

A bunch of limes fell off the tree this weekend

First Fig & Pomegranate

Figs are late this year.  Pom probably not ready, but it was split and rotten on the bottom.

Asian Pear

Delicious!  Almost all other pears were stolen.

Last 2 Gala Apples

Apples ready

Tiny, firm, sweet.  Falling off the tree 2 days after this picture was taken.

Strawberries & Tomatoes

First harvest 

Last apricots

Picked last ones on July 1st

Cherry tomatoes

Green ones starting 

Apricots falling

Didn't need to pick these.  They're falling off the tree.  Horace thinks they'll all fall off in the next 2 days.

1st Pick Apricots

Barely soft.  Will let ripen a day

Apricots!

Almost ready!

Apricot

Looks like we'll get 40 or more apricots this year 

Maybe Persimmon

Less than 1 year tree has these tiny fruit (or are they flowers?)

Tomatoes

Transplanted tomatoes to earth box.  One new catnip.  Only one melon vine survived out of the 18 attempts using off the shelf seeds.

Cantaloupe 2nd try

The burpee seeds were duds.  Trying again.

Apricot

Many tiny apricots on tree

Loquat

Transplanted seed-grown loquat from a pot to the ground next to driveway 

Fuyu Persimmon

Seed Starts

Burpee Super Sweet 100 Hybrid cherry tomatoes and Honey Rock Cantaloupe (never tried) started indoors today.

Many apricot flowers

Put out fertilizer last week 

2nd Fuyu Persimmon Tree

After the first tree died, we bought a new Fuyu Persimmon from Yamahami's.  This one was in a pot and still had leaves on it.  Just transplanted it into a different part of the front yard today.
