Ok, this one is winning this year

29 grams — Single fruit

This one also produces dark red berries

Some of the plants in my patch have a cream color with a nice pink blush

LP seems to drop a lot of breba late in the game, it's almost like the figs are coming ripe, but they're just going bad and dropping off, it did this last year but it's much more pronounced this year

Sun touched upper leafs gain a purple/red hue in summer

Kids ate most but managed to weigh one

Picked: 18 grams

Our little harvest, salmonberry have a lot of color variations, this makes a nice reddish orange color fruit, really attractive. I also find these to be tasty, maybe better than some of the wild varieties around us.

Planting seeds in coconut core and old coffee grounds

Not bad

Maybe the currant maggot? Somebody is poking holes in these guys

Maybe our largest strawberry yet

23 grams — Single fruit

I don't know what this is? I noticed what looks like maybe a white fungus growing on the underside of leafs and along parts of the lower plant. The plant appears healthy, although it's always been a slow grower

Currant maggot

Currant maggot was too much to handle, it's really good at ruining currants

Finished flowering for the most part

Seed pods forming on flowers

I have two VDB I grafted last year, of the figs I've grafted only VBD has produced fruit the next year after grafting. Two breba it seems to be holding on

Lots of ladybugs

All curled up for the evening. California Poppy showing their nyctinasty side

First single flower

Rust developing on a few berries

All finished flowering and now forming seed pods

Again this season LDA dropped all it's breba

First strawberry of the season

First spots of rust on the leafs

Some leaf curl

Working through breaking dormancy and fighting off leaf curl.

Currant maggots have proven too great of challenge. They have laid waste to every single gooseberry I've grown. Sad because I really love gooseberry

Working through the Spring leaf curl

First ripe blueberry from Spartan of the year
