| So my 2nd year with my fruits/plants.
Here is my general report. I had 3 fruits on this Double Jewel peach tree (pruning it Backyard-Orchard style so think that cut down on some fruit-set on it this year). Two the them squirrels got before they got big. One of them however made it nice and plump. Pic is attached along with another pic its really pretty spring bloom earlier this year. Was gonna pick it yesterday and put it on the window sill to ripen. Thought i been lucky and was safe for a few more days of getting it sun-baked... Found it half chewed on it today lol. Might have been a possom or something, it was like 8inches off the ground. But I cut off the top and savored the rest of it. No disease problems minus some scale on it last year thats is gone now. Will put a mini fence around trees next year or a bird net I think. Do deer eat things like peaches through a bird net?
Might get 1 Baby Crawford peach this year.
My SpiceZee Nectaplum plant again growing probably the fastest, but no blooms this year. Hopefully it does well in this climate and just needs a few years to fruit?
Quinces:
Parent's Persian Green Plum produced about 10 small green plums (Iranians eat them with salt when they are unripe haha). Black Knot got it last year on the trunk. Came back this year. Will cut off it again i guess. It had alot of blooms, wonder if it needs another pollenizer to get better fruit set. Anyone know if its a European or Jap plum? RainTree has on their site but not sure which category listed under. Poms:
Medlar:
Pawpaws:
Mulberries:
Cooke's Pakistan is in 2nd year too, its funny 99% of buds get killed off by frost/weather (one bud only made it last year too). That one bud that made it was close to the ground and produced alot of growth, like 4ft branches so far. Heard its hardier as gets more established. HUGE pretty dark green leaves!!! 12in from tip to tip:
Currants/Gooseberries:
Blueberries:
Veggie garden:
Ripped out my Alpine strawberries and making a raised bed herb garden for my sis, next to a few fig trees that survived winter:
Here's a link to everything I'm growing fruit-wise:

| Hi, Please let me know how your melons do this summer. I planted the same varieties for the past three years. Got two great Charentais only. Very disappointing. It being so hot this year I should have planted them! Mrs. G |
