It's been a while...

I apologize for my absence in the blogosphere. It's be a very hectic few weeks since our son started school again.  School schedule reduced my time in the garden to less than 30 a day. I don't have time to jot down our harvest weigh-ins either. We planted papaya seedlings we grew from seed in the front yard. I hope at least on of these plants is a female.
The figs are really at the end of the season now. Alma Paprikas are delicious!
Yes, we're still getting strawberries. Not in huge quantities but, it' a nice addition to our yogurt along with the figs. Our pineapple guavas are somewhat edible too. First Fuji Apple!

So that's what color my paprikas are supposed to be.:) Congratulations on your first fuji, it looks like a very nice apple.

Glad everyone is doing well, and I hope your son is having fun at school!

If you have multiple seedlings, you could graft one (I forgot if you have a mature one from which you are getting fruit.) Good luck with the seedlings!

Hi Mr. H! The fuji was DELICIOUS! There was a subtle flavor of cider that I've never had in store-bought or even farmer's market apples. A hint of cinnamon too. It has a very complex flavor. I love it!

Thanks Anne, the papaya seeds were from a crop swap, so no, I don't have a mature tree. There are 3 seedlings to hopefully one will be female!
