Have you ever tasted a #pluot #fruit before?

Pluots /หˆpluหษ’t/ are later generations of complex hybrid between the Japanese plum, Prunus salicina (providing the greater amount of parentage), and the apricot, Prunus armeniaca.[6][7] The fruit's exterior has smooth skin closely resembling that of a plum. Pluots were developed in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger.[8]

Well the heatwave has kept the gardening to a minimum but I'm taking advantage of the lack of 40+ Celsius weather to get out a fair bit. The potatoes in buckets are doing so well! Never grown them before so I'm interested to see how the flowers look #gardening #potatoes #flowerbuds #containergardening #buckets

Looks like the purple chokeberries will have some blossoms this year. They were planted 4 years ago but moved from the original too hot/dry location last year.
