The Daily Bucket - Local Vegetation

The Daily Bucket is a place where we post and exchange our observations about what is happening in the natural world in our neighborhood. Bugs, buds, birds - each note is a record that we can refer to in the future as we try to understand the patterns that are quietly unwinding around us.

OK, I decided to report on the growth stage of some of the local vegetation as sort of a benchmark. Being poor with words, I shot some pics instead, below the orange bird's nest.

Hayward, Blackberries, inland (not the hills, but not the shore)

Castro Valley - my backyard - all organic:
Grapes - cabernet sauvignon

Granny Smith apples:

Thornless blackberries:

Wild (native?) strawberry - these aren't a bush, but run along the ground:

Pears:

What are you sighting and what is nature up to in your neck of the woods?
