This little peach tree is two years old. It has about 3 dozen peaches almost ripe on it. I have the fruit covered with netting but today I watched as the little antelope squirrels climbed the trunk and were helping themselves to the fruit. I'm going have to harvest tomorrow if I want to enjoy some of the fruit before they get harvested by the squirrels. 
The grape vine is finally reaching to the top of the arbor. This is the third year and it was a friend who showed me how to prune that helped me get the vine to go upwards. That's the old bedstead, metal headboard it's growing out on. Lots of grapes this year.
I have quite a few grape clusters on this vine growing toward my pergala. I'll post pics when they are ripe. These are red flame.
I took a picture of this fat fig before I plucked it and ate it for breakfast. I got Two that morning. Many more to come. 
This morning I found my first squash blossum open in my little circle gardens. 
I'm digging out holes like tree holes and filling them with compost and dirt. I plant a variety of vegies in these holes. In this one there are potatoes, corn, beans and cabbage. This helps me make indentations that have mulch and hold water and the variety of vegies provides a diverse diet and look interesting. I'm filling up a space with these circle gardens. 
The Pond is starting to take on a life of it's own. I enjoy sitting on the bench and watching the fish dart about.
