This is pluot Flavorosa. These managed to hide really well in the foliage of the tree and it wasn’t until this one dropped to the ground that I knew to look for more.
A few of the first carrots to be harvested this season.

“May Pride” peach section of the multiple peach tree was ready before I realized it. Many were overly ripe and bruised when I pulled them from the tree. There was also a large variety of berries.
The 2015 tomato plant has a few small tomatoes ripening. Next of it the acorn squash variety has an abundance of small acorns growing. Last year that one was almost a crop failure as the baby squash rotted instead of growing.
Two of the three tomato plants in the bed are huge while the third one is sickly. In between is a melon which so far, seems happy.
Another bed with two tomatoes that seem to be going well and a third not as vigorous. In some cases a variety which did really well the previous year is the one that is sickly this year.
The boysenberries are staring to get ripe now.
And the blackberries along the bottom fence are providing an ongoing harvest.
The nectarines and peaches continue to ripen although the one nectarine tree has lost most of its fruit after the birds feasted.
The”June Pride” section of the multiple peach tree is starting to get ripe. The trick will be to find the right time to pick for canning. Last year this was where the birds brunched. Apparently they prefer the fuzz-less nectarines over the peaches.
And yes, there was thinning done on this tree. It just needed at least twice as much done.
The four-in-one plum that now may be a two-in-one, is full of too many small plums. Another that hide the baby fruits until too late. This one may be a good tree to sort out next winter with serious pruning and then see if the scion exchange can provide replacements for the branches that died off.
This is one of the bench graft apples that appears to be happy in our climate.
