End of April

Even after a lot of thinning the nectarine is full of fruit.

Likewise, some of the peaches have a lot of fruit after thinning.

The blackberries have been blooming a lot more than last year and berries are starting to form.

The first planting of corn did not germinate very well. However, that was pretty much expected since the seeds were left over from a couple years ago. The second planting of corn did a lot better along with the zucchini at one end of the bed.

The potatoes look good. Hopefully the measures taken to keep the gopher from getting in with the irrigation pipe will work and there will be lots of new potatoes soon.

Lots of ladybugs on the fennel flowers. Maybe they eliminate the aphid population that has been a bit of a problem in the past two years.
