Ryan MThe two avocado trees (type A & B) are in full bloom & the bees are going to town. Meanwhile, the two oranges, ceanothus, poppies, and sages are flowering. It’s a lovely but intense smell out there 🤗 #Yarden #HomeOrchard
Today the yellow-skinned New Century asian pear is in full bloom. It is just in time to help pollinate the brown skinned Hosui asian pear, which is at the end of its bloom. The New Century asian pear tree wants to be a cherry tree. #BloomScrolling #Yarden #HomeOrchard
In the central valley, it’s very much Iris and California Poppy Season #Yarden #BloomScrolling
After over a year of being fallowed (b/c life), our crop rows are now dressed with compost & fresh drip tape deployed. In a few weeks, planting our seedlings of peppers, tomato, eggplant, & holy basil will begin #Yarden #Gardening
Natural compost, years in the making. Mostly thanks to worms & other decomposers. Time to transport some of it to our three crop rows #Yarden
Now blooming: Type-B “Bacon” Avocado tree… I think this is the male flower. We also have a Type-A “Mexicola” Avocado but it isn’t blooming just yet. When the “Bacon” has male flowers open, the “Mexicola” will have female flowers open and vice versa. Avocado tree flowers are neat. #Yarden #BloomScrolling #Avocado https://ucanr.edu/site/uc-master-gardeners-san-luis-obispo-county/avocado-unique-fruit
The western red bud is a magenta flowering beauty. I’d love to know what the moths sense of it at night #WesternRedBud #Yarden #NativePlants
Moths are night pollinating our western redbuds right now. This is the first time I’ve noticed them. Super cool. #Yarden #NativePlants
