Sorry ... I don't fit this group, but I am wondering if any of you "kids" might have seen a group here for the retired group. I'm 70, maintaining and working to lower body fat percentage. If anyone knows were to point me, thanks. Otherwise, keep up the great work I see here.1

There's an OVER 50 GROUP that is pretty supportive. See you there!

I spent some middle-age time in the garden today. I harvested a pint of Sungold cherry tomatoes plus one Cosmonaut Volkov slicer. I thinned out the fruit on the Chojuro Asian Pear... again! Should be some good fruit. I pruned some other plants, and I harvested some Italian Prune Plums. I picked a couple nice cucumbers, and I probably should cut some more grapes. I also enjoyed some of the flowers.

Wow, you've quite the green thumb.. it all looks delicious. There's nothing tastier than home grown produce.2 -
Thanks @slimgirljo15. Yeah, I like growing things. I didn't get pictures of the raspberries today because I chomped down all the ripe ones. It's the second flush for fall. Most are blonde, and they are pretty good. I cut the canes back in early July, and now I get more fruit. The second crop of figs might happen this year -- I have three healthy trees. Sweet cherries had a decent crop this year, but I was away on a river trip when they really got going so the birds got most of them. Blueberries were about average. I don't know what happened to the Marion Berries; the crop was disappointing this year.
Now I get to finish emptying the carport so the paint job can get done.
Middle-age responsibility is a drag sometimes.1 -

Wow, that's some list of fruits, lucky you.. it's too hot to grow cherries here, but I love them. My dad has 4 fig trees but the birds get the lion share of those usually, those little buggers are fast 😔
I don't know what Marion berries are, what are they similar to?

Marionberries are a type of blackberry that was originally bred in the '50s. They have big tasty fruit that comes off without the woody core that some blackberries have. They do have thorns, but they aren't so bad as some varieties.
Once the starlings find ripe figs, I don't get many more. I try to keep the tree picked. This year I need to prune it back down to 10-12 feet so more of the figs are within reach of me on a ladder. That also helps limit what the birds get. The first crop is called the Breba crop. It grows on last year's new wood. As such, I want to keep some new wood from this year to support the breba crop. The "main" crop grows on this year's new wood, but in our climate, those figs often rot on the tree. So sad.

Hey thanks! Take that any way you like
The Sungold cherry tomatoes have a lovely flavor. The Cosmonaut are good, but not super-outstanding. My neighbor gave me the start. They ripen quickly, which is good in our climate. They are tasty for sure -- I never buy grocery store tomatoes. Some heirloom varieties put most others to shame; I didn't grow any this year. I have one other tomato that came from a friend. He calls it "Wild Cherry." It has TINY fruit that are, allegedly, packed with flavor. So far I haven't seen any ripe yet.
Carport is ready for the painter except the raft trailer with raft and crap piled in it and two sea kayaks still hanging in the rafters. I want to keep those things out of the sun until the day she comes to get started.0 -

I wish I knew how to grow anything, but I'm lucky my succulents manage to stay alive!0 -
I can't get enough. I also grow bonsai for some insane reason.0

Happy weekend middle agers.
I spent the day with my brother in law's gf at a brewery. The guys took the kids to Fanexpo and we were let loose downtown and I remembered my friends have a brewery in a fun market area so we went there and spent a fun afternoon sampling beers. It's always fun playing tourist in your own city4 -
I used to lose one bonsai about each year. I don't start any new ones now unless I lose one. My pots are full, and I don't really have room for more. I do have one California Laurel that isn't doing very good. It may die soon. There's a volunteer seedling in my front yard; I may dig it up and try again. I keep digging up Albizia julibrissin (mimosa; silktree) because I seem to get volunteers. I have two in bonsai pots a few years old, and a couple in tiny starter pots just because. They aren't that hardy; I don't know why I keep trying. I do like 'em.
I also have a couple Douglas-fir in a bit of a krumholz form. I have a western Hemlock that was a gift. I have a Japanese maple that looks really nice. A couple years ago a friend gave me a beat-up looking Ginkgo, and I'm having fun with that. I still have a HUGE (for bonsai) western red-cedar out front and a small one in the back. I have some hazelnuts, one of which I tied the stem in a knot. I have a chokecherry in a tray planting. I chop the hell out of it, and it just keeps growing.
