Peach pickin' time (Part 2 of 4)

       Peach trees are generally only about 9 - 12 feet tall.  A late spring frost will wipe out the entire crop....but not this year...hooray!  The bees are free and yes, they sting! Download HERE for peach tree.

Peach pickin' time (Part 1 of 4)

       Peaches are my favorite fruit. Peach picking in the upstate starts in just 2 weeks.  Georgia is known as the "Peach State", but statistics show that South Carolina grows and produces more peaches than any other state.  You can buy peaches in the store, but it is RARE that it will taste like a peach just picked from the tree.  We actually have a water tower down the road shaped and colored like a peach. (Some say it looks like a person's "behind"). Today I'm posting a peach.  My leaf is more correct than ones found elsewhere. Download HERE for peach.  Stayed tuned tomorrow for Part 2.
