The mild winter seems to have been a real blessing for our orchard.  The peach trees are so loaded with peaches that I think we might be able to open a fruit stand.

 

The last couple winters have been a bit harsh, and the peach trees have really felt it.  We haven’t had any peaches for the last few years because the frost came about the same time that the flowers needed to be pollinated, or they got pollinated, then the frost came and all the baby fruits were frozen.  Either way:  no peaches.

 

Well, this last winter was so mild that the peaches, the pears, and even the cherry tree have all set fruit, LOTS of it.  

 

Every year is different at Crazybrook Farm.  We just roll with it, and are grateful for all that we get.

 

 

HAPPY GARDENING!!!
