Random June Yard Shots

Well, we're still in the 90s, although those days are numbered. They're forecasting 106 by this weekend, which is actually close to our average high for this time of the year.

Here are a few shots from around the yard. Not much blooming right now, the yard is shifting into survival mode, until the monsoon arrives.

I managed to salvage a handful of grapes off this vine, the birds got to a good number of them. They were rather small, and extremely tart, but very tasty. I have two more on the opposite side, and hope to have a grape coral on the north side of the house in a few years.

The calomondin is covered in blooms again, should have another nice harvest by August. There are a few that are ripening at the moment, and Brenna is quick to point these out, as she enjoys yanking them off the tree and walking around the house with them in her hands (Sunday she put one in her shoe and forgot it was there, and proceeded to squish is when we were getting ready to go shopping).

I've never seen the jujubee hold it's fruit this far into the summer, I guess again thanks to our mild weather. The Li only had two that are still maturing, but the Li, my newer tree, still has about five or six that are getting to be decent size. They are, however, starting to sunburn, and with our temparatures on the rise, it will be interesting to see if they'll make it to the monsoon.
