We are coming up to my favourite time of the year and one of the reasons why... the spring and summer fruits 
The first strawberry for the season, only a little one but so sweet. Looks like they started fruiting right on time - I was looking back to see when the first strawberry was last year and it was the 6th Sept... I picked this one yesterday, the 5th.
Passionfruit have been bearing for a while and still going strong
Peaches are getting bigger - I peaches

How delicious Gail. I also picked my first strawberry yesterday - a whopper and the peach tree has blossoms even though I caked the limbs with Bordeaux paste applied with a paint brush to beat the ??? this year. If summer means the rain will stop and fruit will be on the trees, I will be very happy.

Yummo , I see a big pav in the near future
My basic weeding rule: if they grow in rows they're flowers;
if they don't they're weeds.

A pavlova sounds good... and I've got plenty of eggs

Watcha doing growing peaches girl? Didn't think we could in QLD. Everything looks yummy. Nicest strawberries in the whole world come from your own garden. Passionfruit..my favourite. Well done. Only fruit I have is lemons...but they looking harvestable soon.

I bought the peach tree last year, it is a dwarf one. Last year we had about 4 very nice peaches. Hope they will be as nice this time.
