May 1, 2019 — More Interlude

They poured the concrete for the foundation of the retaining walls attached to the house and the diversion wall above the house today, but neither of us could be there, so no pictures. Instead, here are some more pictures of the things growing on the property. Many of these are followups to the pictures included in the earlier “Interlude” post (https://www.wright-macdonald.com/blog/april-25-2019-an-interlude-from-construction/), which were taken over the last 2-5 weeks, and you might want to compare those previous picture with these.

Plum Tree with fruit. See a picture of the tree in flower, taken 6 weeks ago, https://www.wright-macdonald.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/D_20190323-019.jpg.
We also have a great apricot crop starting. These are Moorpark apricots, one of three varieties we are growing.
These are young Silver Logan Peaches. We have four peach varieties and it looks like all four are setting fruit.
This is rhubarb. We can start harvesting this.
This is the first time that we have had a real set of almonds. Compare these with the pea-size ones there were 5 weeks ago: https://www.wright-macdonald.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/D_20190329-025.jpg
Remember the picture of the vicious looking artichoke plant in the Interlude post (https://www.wright-macdonald.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/D_20190323-023.jpg)? Here it is with several large artichokes — we’ve already eaten one; it was great!
Then there are flowers. Ted has always loved peonies and here is one of the few varieties he found that we could grow here.
The same bed also has these Peruvian lilies.
And 7, ever-blooming, David Austin rose bushes. This is one of the first to flower.
