My largest, best-producing fig tree this year. The first flush of figs has come and gone. The remaining figs will ripen sometime in October.

My Maypop, a type of passionfruit native to MD, is flowering. I hope it produces some fruit this year, although I’m told the fruit’s not as tasty as what’s sold in stores.
