Sap Beetles have been the biggest pest to fruit this year. Hordes of them have been found in fruit.

Tomato Flood
The Tomato harvest is in full throttle now. When there are too many tomatoes, even the goats get fed some.
Concord Grapes Ripening
The seedy Concord Grapes are starting to ripen. I haven’t done much with them since they need processing.
First Fig of the Year
The first figs are starting to ripen on my Brown Turkey Fig tree. This tree grows in a container and I bring it back inside in late fall.
Bright Pepper
Orange Bell Peppers are starting to ripen. They have so far went from green to yellow to orange.
Delicious Apples
The Red and Yellow Delicious Apples will be ripe in about a month. The trees are loaded with fruit this year.
P & P Orchard
The Persimmon/Pecan Orchard has slowly been growing through the years. A lot of flowering plants have been planted among them.
Big-Leafed Mulberry
Kokuso Mulberry has been a bushy growing tree. The leaves tend to be large and unlobed.
Large Tomato
Some of the tomatoes are becoming quite the handful. I use the big tomatoes mostly for processing.
Fruit Cuttings
I’ve tried Autumnberry cuttings a few times and this year was the best year so far. I also tried a couple Seaberry cuttings and 100% took. So I will have to try more of those cuttings in the future.
