These are going to get massive this year.
Asian Pear is still putting on a show.
@lotus710, The Volunteer Tomato, got a little sun burned this week. The fruit is holding, but it’ll will need some re-vegging time. I will feed and prune it back tomorrow. Supposed to be sunny and cool.
Good day!

Is the Asian Pear ornamental or does it make pears?

@99PerCent,
How do you keep your fruit trees so healthy? Do you have any pest management tricks?

Around here, the only thing I can offer is that when the worms come, and they will come, be prepared to kill lots of them. Feed them lots of food. They will re-generate leaves after the worms clear. Unfortunately, only the worst of chemicals works on them, so it is a tough choice. Spray or hand pick. Fortunately, this year, the Winter Moths are at a minimum, so I will just keep feeding them and hand pick. Yuck!

I have been taking suckers off of the white. These are so easy to clone.
These are indeed related to the Rhody.

Hey bro! Hope your day is soaring in a nice Sativa high. Or maybe some of that lovely C99/Rom like I am! My raspberries are putting out little berries that begin to turn red but then dry up on the vine before they can finish. Too hot? Too much direct sun? Not enough water? Whatcha know?
