Peachy Keen

August 12, 2018  •  12 Comments

I didn't have time to prune the fruit trees back in February. As it turned out, 2018 is the first year in the past 12 years that we did not get late killer frosts. So guess what? Correct! Our fruit trees have fruit. Lots and lots of fruit. Our 5 in 1 plum tree we planted in 2000 gave us plums for the first time this year, and the peach tree is prolific — between bending branches and all the wind falls it seems like we have peaches everywhere. I spent most of the day peeling peaches, layering them with sugar in containers and freezing them.

Egg cartons work well for holding fruit.

Hi Herman. Overnight service would probably get them there in good shape, but that would be some pricey peaches.

Hi Harry. Peach wine. Hmmm. I'll have to think about that.
