My orchard trees all dodged the frost this time. I’m looking forward to a bumper crop of peaches and plums. Sparse bloom on the pears for the third year in a row. I’m beginning to think the Ayers variety that I have isn’t well suited to the clay soil here.
Hubby says the peaches are loaded. He didn’t mention our pears. We have Keiffer. We planted most of our dwarf orchard 2010, so we should be getting some fruit this year.
If not, I am going to take youngest daughters peaches. She planted about 6 or 7 years ago, and has had several good crops that she didn’t collect because they had worms.
One year I went over and got a bucket full, and most of them were fine except for a little bad spot which we cut out before we ate them.
I can process them in my pressure cooker. They are pretty pricey at the stores these days, and Hubby really loves peaches.
