Homestead Update (and other stuff)

*  Baby chicken still growing.  Still don't know for sure what the sex is.  He/she is alone a lot, but it doesn't seem to mind much.  Mama chicken is sitting on another egg as we speak.................(stay tuned)



Fig tree is filled with figs, but they seem to be ripening slow.  I put the watering can in front to show actual size.

Closeup of figs forming


Cucumbers are still doing great. 


This is butternut squash that volunteered in the compost bin.  I was going to pull it up, but Marcel asked me to leave it alone.  Glad I did because there are a lot of squash there.


The Pomegranates have some fruit on them - I didn't expect that since they got hit so hard with frost in the late spring.


The lone Pluot is starting to mature.  Looking forward to enjoying it with a friend soon. :-)

Your garden makes me wish I had more fruit trees. We have bananas and a lemon that's about it.
