Haskap berries will be edible before the end of the month. They could pass for sea squirts at this stage.
A week ago the Nanking cherry bushes were covered in blossoms and humming with bees. The green cherries seem to have appeared out of nowhere.
Since Wendy and Carl (across the alley and two doors down) planted a pear tree (different variety form ours) last year, I have reason (I hope) to hope that this bulge, like many others on the tree, is a sign of successful pollination. A fresh blossom is offered below for comparison.
The haskaps have always come through for us. The other two were running out of chances to disappoint us. There may be a reprieve in sight.
