More Fruit!

If you've read some of my previous posts you're probably aware that its been a good year for fruit for us so far.

A mini update on our fruits:

Peaches are getting big! In fact, I think this is the biggest I've ever seen our peaches. They seem to be doing well despite Aaron's lack of time to tend to them.

Blueberries! Our blueberry bushes are loaded. This is great after having almost no blueberries last year.

Some of the berries are looking especially big too:

We have also had a ton strawberries but I haven't pictured those. As soon as I get close to our strawberry patch I tend to lose any desire to take pictures and start feasting instead. :)

Finally our passionflower vines are now poking out of the ground! Aaron was afraid they weren't going to come back.

These are obviously far from having fruit on them. Even when they do get fruit, they don't ever really reach their full ripeness before the season is over. Although we do have these growing on the side of our house that gets partial shade...so they may not be getting enough light to live up to their full potential. I think our hardy kiwi may have kicked the bucket. If so I may have to replace them with some more passion flowers!

Wow, I'm quite jealous of those blueberries! I've posted a few pictures of mine, but the pics are deceiving. There are maybe half a dozen berries in all because my dogs attacked the plant earlier this season, as they are wont to do.
