What's Blooming?. 5.27.22

 Horse Chestnut.



Red Peony


Irises




Pawpaws Are Blooming. 5.27.22

 The Pawpaw trees are blooming.  I started hand pollinating them today.





Hilling Up Potatoes. 5.27.22

 Most of the potato trenches are filled in and the earliest ones, planted in Feb, are hilled up a bit.  I have 1 1/2 rows remaining to fill in, the late varieties.


The container potatoes are looking nice too.  The ones in the new planter box are now filled to the top.


The potatoes I planted in the bags are also growing.  I may run out of soil to fill these up.  Maybe arborist  mulch will work.




This might be "The Year Of The Potato" LOL


Fig Update. 5.27.22

 Some of the fig trees look promising for early summer crops.

Desert King.


Lattarula.


White Sicilian.




If all goes well, these could give a June crop. These are reliable varieties for me.   I bought yellow jacket bait for when they ripen and yellow jackets try to destroy them all.
