Peaches

These are the harvested peaches that we kept for ourselves to can and they are yummy! The early varieties started in mid-August with the Rising Star, StarFire, Allstar and Blushing star (a white meat peach)~then came the Veterans and Frosts and Golden Jubilee. These are Late Elberta which is still my all round favorite.
We posted our orchard on a U-pick website and the thing that people wanted most were peaches~ we had tons of calls and still are getting them.
It is amazing how a tree with a trunk no bigger around than a closet rod and not as tall as me can bear so many big fruits~
but we are not complaining!
