Our Red Haven peach crop has been harvested!
Admittedly, we have a small orchard by Michigan standards. One tree (see picture).
We just planted it last year and it gave us 4 peaches. This year - we had a bumper crop - 13 peaches! (They fit in a single bowl!). Perhaps we'll get a peck next year.
Yeah, we're quite the farmers.
We've already enjoyed 1/4th of the crop! We made them into fruit smoothies that were delish!
Joel: so, dad, what are going to do with the rest of your peaches?
ReplyDeleteDad: whatever I feel like, gosh!
Dad: Maybe I will, GOSH!
ReplyDeleteWe picked the tree because it was named Grand Haven peach. It reminded us of Michigan. Now if I could just grow blueberries I would be all set.They smell wonderful.
