We have a new neighbor who is a landscaper. I’m going to ask him about topping my wild peach tree. I want it closer to the ground so we can get some of the peaches, which are very small but so sweet and juicy. Last year we had a tree full of fruit, ripe, juicy then the high wind came along and you know the rest of the story. We shoveled them into a wheel barrel and threw them away. It was sickening.
Well, I know the feeling. Last year we had a pear tree loaded with pears and that bad hail storm hit. Not a single pear survived. Lots of branch damage too.
I bought an electric tiller today. I only have two 8 X 20 gardens anyway, so it will be OK. There is so much organic matter in the dirt, it went thru them in less than 30 minutes.
