This paw paw is a few years old and is really starting to get big and putting on a lot of new growth. I hope to get the first fruit next year.

Paw paws have a neat kinda tropical look to me.

This sucker is coming up from the roots of the paw paw above. It has grown a few feet already this first year.

I hope to transplant it to the food forest once it goes dormant this fall, to have a new paw paw tree.

This young cucumber is thriving in pretty poor soil. It hasn't been watered and nothing else has been done to it since planting the seed.

It's got a nice healthy dark green color and sturdy form. I'm excited to save the seeds from it to carry on its great genetics!

This yellow grape produced its first few clusters this year.

It's always nice to find 4 different wild fruits within just a few feet of each other!

This grape turns almost black when it is fully ripe.

I probably picked most of these a little too early.

I love the flowers on this Monarda citriodora (purple horsemint, lemon beebalm). I hope it'll spread around!
