Hopefully 2-3 more days. I only get about 1 hour of work each day while my daughter naps. Sometimes some evenings but usually not much if any.

Planted mid March

Saved some seeds from UF Gulf Ruby, Rose, Beauty and Blaze. I didn’t label or record which or how many of select varieties there were.

Most came out of the fridge ok, but lost a few to mold or dehydration (waited too long to soak and store).

16 seeds in, I will see how many push through and survive the lovely growing conditions Orlando Florida in the coming months.

Any advice on grafting starfruit “in the field”?
Lost the variety this winter, would like to get the variety back.

Great views, fun trip. Got back 2 weeks ago

Any activity I can do to avoid being in the sun these days

Has anyone in central Florida started melons in August and/or September and harvested fruit? I’ve heard and read about it. Concerned with upcoming El Niño and extra rains bringing in higher fungal and pest pressure

Wildlife 2.

I like my odds.
Seminole pumpkin planted mid March, Orlando.

After a rough winter, this is a welcomed sight

Jacksonville Florida, flordahome variety.

The tree is still loaded, probably 2-300 fruits left

Looking for ideas on thinned pear fruits?

Semi- hull-less pumpkin- ready. Well, at least mostly. Needed some more time for more seeds to mature.

The seeds are self- dehulling and slip out nice an easy.

Pie-pumpkin size. Vines look very healthy considering our heat and sudden onset of downpours.

Vines are starting to die off from fungal issues

Saw the old leaves come out a little nibbled off the ends. Then this came out and I thought- oh yay, flag leaf.

Nope, not a flag leaf. Doesn’t match caterpillar damage I see online either, but still suspect caterpillar.

Any thoughts or advice? This blue Java is nearing fruiting stage so, I’m hoping to avoid fruit and flower damage.
