Figs are making their second appearance for the year. Figs have two crops a year. The first crop occurs in July. After a rest, the next crop matures in late August and September. The second crop usually has smaller fruit sizes. This year our Brown Turkey and Penache Tiger Stripe figs are looking pretty good in the size category. The Black Mission however are true to tradition and are on the small side so far this year.
We are now harvesting Asian Pears, apples and Jujube. A sign that fall is arriving. We will still have grapes, peaches, plums, and pluots. Peach season is coming to a slow close. We still have green Kelsey plums, soft Laroda plums, crisp Casselman and Cassie plums and a limited supply of Dapple Dandy pluots.
The gardens are still producing tomatoes, cucumbers, okra, long beans, basil, peppers, and eggplants. We are starting to have some winter squash. Now is the time for Delicata winter squash.
