Notes from my Garden

After two weeks in bed, I was so happy to walk around my house and discover how just 14 days can change the face of my garden, it's hard to believe how many things can happen in such a short time.

Like my peach trees: I have 6 of them, the first year in our home, we were plagued by Japanese beetles and they destroyed every fruit on all the trees. Last year we didn't have a single peach, and this year we not only have peaches, we are plagued by them!

Suddenly we have so many peaches that we have a couple of branches that couldn't stand the weight, and they are not even ripe yet. Here is a branch that is almost touching the ground.

Peaches are not the only fruit trees we have, we also are owners of two apple trees, but we have never been witnesses of any apple production at all. This is our first year we have been able to see some of the fruits actually getting a little bigger than a plum (we have a plum tree too).

I'm so excited about the development in our trees, because they came with the house, and for two years we haven't been able to enjoy any of the fruits, just heard rumors from our neighbors about the greatness of the peaches, until now (we hope).
