Backyard Fruit Trees, Vegetables and Flowers

Today (06 June 2009), while waiting my kids get ready for the air show, I took some pictures for my vegetable garden, fruit trees and flowers at backyard.


The black colored "weed control fabric" is really good for tomato's growth, because it absorbs a lot of sunny heat for the roots...


This year, the cherry harvest perspective looks really promising.


Some cherry appears to be a little reddish now...


Plum are grew bigger...


The roses are blooming now...
