Mine!

See there on the heavy branch weighed down below the height of the tank,wedged between it and the support trellis, slightly obscured from overhead view by the overflow pipe, rambling roses and other vines.

A closer look as I zoom in from where I was standing with the previous photo.

5 plump luscious nectarines! 

The birds can't see and perhaps can't reach. They will be ripe enough to pick within days!

Mandarins

Oh My! 

Juicy and delicious.

and a few more ready too.

Nectarine's

in the evening light. Almost ready.

Grapes

Plums

Yellow fleshed Plums

These beauties are on a grafted tree bearing two types of yellow fleshed plums. It is loaded this year and the birds are sampling just waiting. They have moved from the Apricot tree to a red skinned plum that is already ripe. 

They will have a fight on their hands as these jems made the most delicious jam last summer and there is only one jar left!

Thieves!

We were away for two days and came back to this!

My lovely Apricot crop. From my single tree.

The red wattle birds are constantly barking and calling to each other up the back where the tree is and if there is an upside it is that they are cleaning up the fruit on the ground quite nicely.

I went out and picked all of the remaining low lying  fruit. Less than 20 pieces, In this case the birds got over 90%. I think I have enough almost ripe fruit for a jar of jam which is what I really, really wanted to make with this fruit. Lesson learned. Next year we will net.

Blue Crown passion Fruit

This vine weaves its way up and around most of our garden, it is a weed.

The Blue Crown Passion fruit It is a yellow skinned passion fruit with bland red flesh. Last Summer the birds who are the ones I suspect bought it to our garden initially, enjoyed them. The flowers are pretty but the vine is invasive in warmer weater. I'm wondering what I can do with the bland sweet red flesh this year. 

 Here it is in one of our Plum trees.
