Easier To Spot

Day 4: There are only about a dozen and a half kiwi berries left on the vine now, and with most of the leaves having fallen, they're easier to spot. All things considered, I've had a good harvest this year. Almost every day for the last two weeks, I've been able to snack on anything from 3-4 up to about 20, and all but one from the "Anna vine." With judicious pruning, I may be able to train branches of the male "Clark" into "Issai" in the hopes of better pollination. "Issai" made a single, significantly larger berry. The garden has been good to me this year, what with 32 figs, a ton of blueberries on the foot-tall "Jelly Bean" bush, so many raspberries that I've been inviting guests to eat them because the freezer is full, and of course enough gooseberries for a batch of jam. A chipmunk helped itself to the last couple of Akebia fruits and a few low-hanging kiwis before acquainting itself with the interior of my larger Havahart trap. I'm still jealous of people who can grow veg, but in the fruit department, I'm doin' okay.
