Probably will pick 25-30 flats today off the small batch of Shuksan June bearers I planted last August.

Yum!!

Most of my winter tailgate shots are different. LOL

Our strawberry season has already ended.

For an equal volume of beaver on that tail gate, which is worth more? The berries or beaver?

They look great. Still two or three weeks away here

We are going to start around the 10th or 12th. We got rain today so that helps. But we irrigate for the most part.

Nice question....

Eight beavers= maybe $3-400 with castor, etc thrown in. Ten flats of strawberries about $600-$700 retailed at the farmers market tomorrow.

Got a good looking peach crop coming along too.

These trees planted fall of 2023:


Hard to believe but I’ve counted up to 260 peaches on some of the better trees.

These are O’ Henry peaches. A late late cultivar.

Do you thin the peaches - seems like if there were that many peaches on one tree, they would be about the size of a possum cod. I dont think you are challenged enough - I lost all my strawberries to pill bugs, slugs, and possums. Lost all peaches, pears, figs, and half the apples to a late freeze. Commercial orchards lost 100% of crop. One near me - 1800 trees - wont produce a peach this year. Even though I still have some apples does not mean any of them will make it to maturity with 100 degree temps, drought, and high humidity. I have already had to water this year.

I envy your crops.
