Just Peachy
The first year we pulled off the first fruits
so the trees would spend their energy growing roots.
Last year, we thinned the peaches out
but then the remaining peaches fell off.
This year, we left them alone to do their thing.
They didn't disappoint!
and there are still a ton on the trees.
and I jammed the rest.
Today I picked some more and
just put a peach crisp in the oven.
Seems like it's going to be just peachy around here for a while.
For no good tree bears bad fruit;
nor again does a bad tree bear good fruit.
Luke 6:43
Those are beautiful peaches. I have baby trees and I can't wait until they begin to produce!
ReplyDeleteWould you like a recipe for fresh peach pie? You'll never make a baked peach pie again, this one has so much more flavor!
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! Email it to me. I would love to try it.
DeletePeachy Keen!! Beautiful fruit.
ReplyDeleteI'm so jealous! My two peach trees are just two feet tall at this point and I can only dream of picking my own fruit. Fortunately I'll be able to hit the farmer's market soon.
ReplyDeleteOh, yummy! We had peach trees for a few years, and there is just not anything better than fresh peaches.
ReplyDeleteYou are Blessed. Thank you for sharing your wonderful place.
ReplyDeleteKim, I love peaches right off the tree. Before retiring to Tennessee we lived in Southern Utah and we had a peach tree that produced so many peaches I couldn't put them all up. I love to freeze sliced peaches and eat them throughout the winter. We've started our orchard here in Tennessee but it'll be a few years. Your peaches look beautiful... you know they are good peaches when you remove the skin and the peach is that pretty orangey/red color underneath! :-)
ReplyDeleteOh I so love peaches. They don't grow in this altitude. I am happy you had such a successful harvest.
