Weeds are starting to go down for the winter. I saw the first two yellow leaves on the squashes, and the vines are still blooming and setting fruits.
Peaches are falling, a seedling tree is dropping very sweet peaches and the Redhaven has dropped one so far.
Black berries are ripening and the fall crop of primocane raspberries is sizing up nicely.
Tomatoes, ah, heaven, dead ripe, meaty, sweet and tangy all at once.
Indigo Rose almost ready too, very blue/black where exposed to sun, still green on the bottoms, no blight on fruits or vines..........
Burs on handpollinated chestnuts are sizing up well, probably ready by Oct 20 or so.
Blueberries were a bust, things here prevented me from watering enough and the fruits became whizzened up tastless "raisins".
Young quince seedling getting big, and has survived its first winter....it has some younger siblings in the porch....must pot them up to a bigger sized pot soon.
Going into Town today to drop off 4 potted chestnuts to a young fellow, fun to spread the 'bug".
