Ha ha, this one is hiding next to our Black Veil Brides / Blood on the Dance Floor themed bird house. That is a painting of Andy Biersack from BVB :
Please visit me in my garden, among the flowers and weeds, as I carve out a little patch of heaven in this rainy Pacific Northwest. I hope to share with you some of the joys, the triumphs, the techniques I learn along the way, and maybe some favourite garden recipes and art projects, too.

Peach Harvest
When we planted our little Frost Peach tree a few years ago (in 2010), we didn't know how much fruit, if any, to expect. I don't think I've ever had more than one to taste, and when I did, I picked it a bit early, so the squirrels wouldn't get to it first. This year, the tree produced nine peaches! Here is 7 of them:
I picked one earlier today, to sample it. Wow! It was really amazing, and I don't usually even like peaches, I prefer nectarines. Very sweet and just juicy enough. It separated nicely from the pit, as I like them. Here are a few photos of that sample :
I'm really impressed. The tree is still young, and very small. It really doesn't look like it could bear so much fruit successfully :
I took photos of the peaches before picking them, since they look so beautiful on the tree:
The peaches look so sweet and delicious! It's a fun to harvest fruits in your own garden, isn't it.
ReplyDeletePOIROT - Thanks for visiting. Yes, I enjoy those moments of "triumph", and yes, they are surprisingly sweet.
