Peaches Final

So I finally pulled the peaches off of the tree on Monday. The birds were starting to eat them and that left me little choice. 50 came off total and to be honest, they were not the best peaches in the world but still better than what I have seen in the grocery stores. They were really juicy and slightly tart, not very sweet but sweet enough.

Next year, I will cut back the crop to 25 and see what happens. I hope good weather will grace us next spring like this year. Last year, we had a hard freeze and wiped out most of the peach crops in the south. My little tree was no exception.

I made a peach trifle with the harvest. Concocted a peach filling, cross between a cobbler and jam, and layered this with cinnamon cake, vanilla custard, and whipped cream. Shared this with my church today and most seemed to enjoy. A great flavor combination for sure.

There it is, my peach story for the day! They were good and looking forward to what happens next year! Next on the list is tomatoes. One is almost ready to pick!!
