Kiwi is just starting to leaf out.

A photo of a plant that looks more like a dead stick
Unfortunately a late frost hit my plants and really did a number on the male kiwi.
A photo of one tiny little leaf growing off aforementioned dead stick
It's still alive, though, thank god.

A photo of a hardy kiwi plant that looks a little out of control
The Ken's Red took a bit of damage initially but seems unfazed.
A photo of several huge clumps of unripe blueberries
Not only did the blueberry survive, it is absolutely covered in berries. There's more berries than leaves!
Similar to last year, I have two rows of Shepard peppers and eggplant to the left, and two rows of radishes to the right in my plot. I was going to plant carrots but forgot to buy seeds oops.
Last year's apricot is still alive and has grown 2 new branches.
I was also able to grow another apricot from seed over the winter which is also doing well.
Apart from last year's plants, I have a few new additions. This is a Cupid sour cherry.
A Jeanne gooseberry, though I kind of doubt that's the actual cultivar because it's not usually this thorny :(.
A mulberry I bought at a plant sale. I'm assuming it's going to be a full-size white mulberry because there was very little information. It might not even fruit, so we'll see.
A calamodin orange tree I bought from the grocery store and that had a bad mite infestation that showed up the moment I got it home. I got that cleared up and now its only fruit is starting to ripen :)

A calamondin orange, still rather green, on a cutting board.
I gave up on waiting for the calamodin orange to fully turn orange.
The calamodin orange sliced in half to show the inside.
But it was still pretty orange inside. Very sour, but that's how it's supposed to be.

The blueberries are starting to ripen.
