It's only going to be big compared to previous years. The Ison looks like it has a couple of pounds' worth on it. The Late Fry has maybe one pound; some of the others have a couple of grapes as in previous years.
I've also picked some figs. I have yet to get a single fig off of a plant installed by me--actually, I have yet to have one planted by me live very long, a story for another day--but there's an old fig tree planted by the previous owner that I'm getting some off of this year. There were two originally, but ambrosia beetles attacked one and I took it out. The other one has probably been producing every year, but I haven't gotten many off of it--as I'm learning, the ripe ones are quickly attacked by wasps, ants, and June bugs.The harvest from the fig tree is likewise pretty modest--there are many more that are too high for me to reach or that have ripened and been turned into bug food--but it's nice to have some (I got more than the picture shows; that's just one days' worth). I'm going to guess it's a Celeste fig, but that's only a guess.
I also have apples and pears pending...
