Harvest Post: Feijoas
Apr. 17th, 2010 09:55 pmFirstly, welcome to those of you who have joined recently from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)

I harvested some more feijoas today. It was about the same amount as in my earlier feijoa post. I tried to measure it with our baking/cooking scale but they didn't all fit in the container so I did it in 2 lots. I got about 4 1/2 pounds, or just over 2 kilos, today. I think I harvested about that much last week and there should be about that on the tree still.
Here's what the flowers look like (for those of you who missed where ever I originally posted it). I haven't seen any on the tree in awhile since we've got the fruit now, this is from earlier in the season.
I didn't do a ton more today in the garden, but did use up the rest of the fish tank water. We've been asked to conserve water. It's been a dry summer, in fact I don't have the problems with powdery mildew that I usually do at this time of year. And the birds have been eating my guavas and tomatoes this year, they haven't done that in the past. I don't mind too much, they need their water too. If I really wanted to I could put bird netting over either of them (or both) but I can't be bothered and I do want the birds to have food/liquid.
And now, under the cut, some updated picts from last month. This is a very messy garden! :) I've been working on it a little bit, I went out today and pulled some more weeds. We had a little bit of rain last night so I had an easier job of pulling them than last weekend.
