So many Brown Turkey Figs!

Leafhopper Assassin with a meal.

Volunteer tomato is flowering. Who knows what kind of fruit this might grow (if pollinated). So too blooms our late April direct seeded peppers blooming.

Cultivated native California grapes are coming along quite well.

Pineapple guava (Feijoa sellowiana) flowers.

Turns out native California grape flowers ate definitely not showy but are well loved by small pollinators.

I think these are as showy as native California grape flowers get. Will report back.

Warmer than usual weather means Peppers are rapidly sprouting. We direct seeded this year as an experiment.

This western toad is why I carefully cut back the parsley. I knew it was in there somewhere. I stopped at the toad and gently covered with trimmings to maintain shade and moisture.

Was prepping the vegetable garden bed and had to dodge lots of ladybugs.
