Beekeepers announced this spring that there has been a major bee die-off. And many plants are suffering from a lack of pollinators. There are much fewer fruits. Of course, we can pollinate them by hand. I didn’t pollinate the zucchini, but since they survived the drought, they decided to cover ours. Does their flower attract bees and other insects that much? I’m not sure. But there are so many zucchini that the entire winter supply is made from them, and we also freeze a large amount. Before freezing, we grated the zucchini, each bag contained about two servings.The first picture is from the day before yesterday and the second is from tonight. We also started dividing them, and we give the ones that are too old to the chickens for a feast.
And the apple turned red, so my son picked it.
The tomatoes are also ripe, the stems are slowly drying up, but there will still be fruit on them.
A rose bloomed in the front garden.
It was probably also lost to these temperature fluctuations.
This last heat wave was not so strong, so it did not harm the plants much.
Speaking of the front garden. The albizia is also in bloom. I love this unusual flower. It reminds me of a chick that still has feathers.
The pears are doing great. Looks like I'll have to make more ladders to hold the fruit.
And I'm also worried about the fig tree, there are more and more fruits and they are getting bigger. I put a ladder all around it but I'm afraid the branches will break.
It's interesting this year I have two figs and two pears.
I have one or two fruits on each one while the others with too much fruit.
The pepper is progressing well.
My little melon project has blossomed.
So will it bear fruit?
We'll see, I hope so.
Goji looks like he suffered a lot from the drought
I hope he recovers
