Big week, we had rain on both Wednesday and Friday, both giving just over an inch. Have been harvesting a lot of beets, turnips, lettuce, spinach. wildflowers are up in force, and citrus are heavy with potential fruit. Have been planting seeds: corn, pumpkin, squash, tomato, pepper, dill, radish.
Forgot to take the before picture, here's the after. I figure that I have 3-4 more weeks worth of juice on the Navel and Valencia trees.

Carrots have been slow coming, as have the strawberries. We got a nice fat one this morning, but before I could snap a pic it was gone
Two new iris opening up, the one on the bottom is a dark purple, it's going to be awesome when it opens!

One of the first flowers on the tomatoes
pineapple guava
Hmmm. I can only dream about what a fresh pitcher of orange juice must taste like. My allergies are bad right now and orange juice soothes them.
ReplyDeleteyou are so blessed with all your fruit trees; I'll have to try out some turnip soup when I get the chance!
ReplyDeleteMy guavas have been flowering like mad, but the stinking squirrels are stealing the blossoms! Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteThat pineapple guava is beautiful. I have never tasted a guava, but the flowers are amazing!
ReplyDeleteI could really use that rain. We usually get so much, but this year we just haven't. I hope the weather switches back to normal soon. And your OJ looks fabulous.
