There has been a daily apricot inspection here. It is a time comsuming business requiring the bird brain alarms to be switched off, the bug barrier shields to be taken down and the fungus fence feature to be disabled. I got close enough to get a picture thru the netting. I have read that from the look of these it may be time to pluck them from the tree, although the guy saying this has had no apricots on his trees this year, so why am I reading his advice. The nearby nectarines are getting some colour as well but for them it is a shiny red half of the fruit. There is also some action on the strawberries which seem a bit late to me. The one single corn plant has a stalk but I noticed lady bugs and small black critters on it.
