3. This was a fallow year for my garden...

But I did plant three tomatoes: Early Girl, Celebrity, Big Beef. Already getting some for salad etc.

The fruit trees have done well. Got a good crop of spring figs (Desert King). Some cherries in May. Avocados, Bacon variety, as well as Hass. Apples (Pink Lady and Golden Delicious) will be ready in late summer/fall. As will some pink grapes of undetermined variety (grown from clippings given by friend).

In past I've grown a lot of other stuff, including cucumbers, zucchini, various herbs but due to long wet winter and being preoccupied with other things I decided to give it a rest this time. Next year...
