The Balaton Cherry has been rewarding me with flowers in the spring and cherries in the summer. The fruit has attractive flesh that is dark red.

Excited For Pears
The old pear tree is loaded with pear blossoms. This can result in a big harvest of pear fruit later in the fall.
Carmine Jewel Cherry Mass Flower Display
The Carmine Jewel Cherry Bush is growing larger than I thought it would. It is pretty reliable for large quantities of flowers.
Bella di Giugno Pear
I grafted Bella di Giugno Pear onto an old rootstock pear. It has started to flower more, hopefully soon it can set pears. Until then, I can keep wondering if this is the earliest pear that I can harvest in Iowa.
Ussuri Plums Blooming
The Ussuri plums usually give a good flower display in early spring. Hopefully this results in a good fruit yield for me.
Pumpkin Tree
Kiwano Design
Kiwano, also known as Horned Melons, have an attractive pattern to their fruit. This fruit needs a longer season, as ripe fruit will be orange, but they are green here when the fall freezes come.

A good lineup of the various Pumpkins and Squash that bore fruit this year:
Pepper Final Harvest
I had to harvest the rest of the peppers as freezing temperatures came this month. A lot of the excess is dried and frozen.
Volunteer Jalapeno
Because of all the rains, a volunteer Jalapeno seed germinated and even produced some peppers for me to eat.
