I'm not trying to make this a daily update, so I'll pause for a while after this. But I have 18/30 with fruit set. And many of them are looking like little baby slicers instead of cherry/grape, so psyched about that. Now it's starting to get fun!

The stripes sure are pretty!
Gotta say that large one with the dark green shoulders looks really promising too. I look at that and I think, could be really tasty.
