Three people stand in newly constructed wooden raised garden beds, holding tools and smiling at the camera. A woman on the left holds a shovel, a man in the middle holds a drill above his head, and a man on the right holds a shovel. The background shows an overcast sky, trees, a fence, and an outdoor community orchard setting with construction cones.

Have you ever tasted a #pluot #fruit before?

Pluots /ˈpluːɒt/ are later generations of complex hybrid between the Japanese plum, Prunus salicina (providing the greater amount of parentage), and the apricot, Prunus armeniaca.[6][7] The fruit's exterior has smooth skin closely resembling that of a plum. Pluots were developed in the late 20th century by Floyd Zaiger.[8]

Ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluot

They're one of the 1st #FruitTrees to blossom in this area of the South Island. These are their #flowerbuds & early #blossoms 🤍

Wooden sign reading "Pluot Flavor Supreme" in a garden bed covered with wood chips, leaning against a tree trunk. The word "Pluot" is painted in pink with orange outline on a smaller top board, and "Flavor Supreme" is written in black on a larger bottom board.

Close-up of a tree branch bearing clusters of white and green flower buds, contrasted with textured, dried-out buds. The branch is brown and textured, displaying lichen growth, with a blurred background of green foliage and a glimpse of blue sky.

Close-up of a budding branch featuring several white flower blossoms in various stages of bloom and closed green buds. The branch is brown, with a blurry background that contains bare tree branches, areas of light and color, and hints of a blue sky.

Finished up with sorting some more donated seeds. I vacuumed my office space afterwards because I like to keep my workspace very tidy.

Overhead shot of a round wooden table with items related to seed starting and gardening. A red rose with its stem in a clear measuring cup filled with water, a cardboard box labeled "cauliflow/ broccoli," several small seed packets, a jar of seeds, small ziplock bags labeled with seed donation notes, yellow envelopes, a blue mug, and various pens are visible.
