Our βBaconβ Avocado flower buds are developing nicely. Also, the fig is waking up. π±π³


First apricot bloom. Hopefully, as in past years, far more will follow. Figure this flower puts pollinators on notice. π³π±

This should be my last nectarine flower photo. This year. π³π±

Easiest way to deal with (perhaps) hundreds of mandarins once ripe: juice them. These have brightened to very red-orange I wonder if they are closer to tangerines?



The nectarine is up and at βem with many glorious blooms. π±π³
Pompasetting nectarine.
First bloom today of our nectarine! π³ π±
Got a warm spell in California so now I expect the nectarine to bloom any day now. The local almond trees already have.π³π±
The Fantasia nectarine (planted Jan 2020) is still in swollen bud stage. Has been for days. Itβs sooo close to blooming. Hereβs hoping itβll produce fruit for the first time this year!
