Peachy.


 Remember this little peach tree?
 
          
The first summer, it gave us a few... Last year, next to none (due to pruning too late, and possible over-pruning).


This year, we learned our lesson- and it paid off. Or rather- paid out.

              
We've frozen some, baked with others...

 
and simply drank the rest.


It's amazing how quickly you can use 'em up when you put your mind to it.

  2. That looks like a beautiful tree! We had one at our old house but the birds always got to the peaches before they were fully grown.
