July – thinking cool thoughts

Looked out the kitchen window and spied a hawk hanging out near our bird feeder. I am pretty sure he is hunting. Circle of life gets up close and personal sometimes.





I-258 Fig. Planted a cutting of this last year. It is fruiting the first year. I’ve only had a couple, but so far they are living up to their reputation. They are sweet, big and able to produce in a 5 gallon pot! It does not get any better than this!




Two year old black sea jujube. Fruit was smaller than I thought it would be. Covered in fruit, but small. Maybe they will get bigger with time.



Here are some pics of the jujube flowers. They have an interesting look and some interesting pollinators.
