Berry, Berry, Seed

The hot days have started becoming the norm and the garden is getting nice and full of plants, insects, flowers, and fruit.

Gold Raspberries
These Fall Gold raspberries have been fruiting for a week and they are earlier than the red raspberries, which are just starting to ripen today.


Blueberries
Many of the blueberry plants are fruiting, having started a week, or so, ago.
Each day we get more ripe berries.

Peanut
This is a peanut plant, just a week old. I planted Tennessee Reds and Virginia Jumbos. Peanuts need a long, hot growing season, which we have here in Chico, California. Peanuts are legumes and will create pegs that the plant thrusts into the soil toward the end of the growing season.
