Fruit – ripe and ripening; vegetables – picking and planting

We have a bumper crop of plums this year. The yellow ones are ripe and delicious, while the purple ones and green gages aren’t quite ripe yet.

It’s another reasonable year for nectarines. These are the last of the ones from the first tree, there are still two trees where they ripen a little later.

The figs are ripening and won’t be ready for a few more weeks, while the kiwifruit, persimmons and feijoas won’t be ready for a few months yet.

The zucchini are just starting to get going and there are still strawberries. They make the garden smell so good!
