More bountiful blueberries

This comes mainly from three plants. Al grown in containers. 

Spaghetti Squash succumb to proceed mildew :(

Here’s what I got! Unfortunately may grey has brought too much dewy foggy weather.  Wonder how much flesh are in these little ones… Some are still soft skinned. So hopefully they will harden up?! 

Big bunch of Blueberries!

Here’s a good bowl of blueberries harvested 5/9/16 I also have a couple of peaches. My peach trees were damaged in the storm earlier this year so not many fruits this year. 

Spaghetti squash babies getting bigger!

I’m always surprised how quickly they grow! Only pollinated a week ago and now I have 4 little mini squashes! I am not sure which pits they’re coming out of, I have three pots each with two plants.. Hopefully each plant will bear at least one squash.

I growed these! Tango mandarins and Meyer Lemon. February 2015 already?!

Yay, first decent fruit from my trees. I have to say I have been watering and caring for this tango mandarin for many years and only now I can say it is producing edible fruit and quite a few for a small tree. The Meyer lemon tree I have only had for a year. So…

Homegrown olives! Now what? Curing in Brine

So here’s my little olive harvest from my $10 tree I bought earlier this year. I left them on the tree for a while until the recent storm knocked some little olives onto the ground. I had to do something about it before they went to waste so here’s what I got: It’s a small…
