From The Orchard
We are now experiencing some good cold weather which is great for a good peach crop. We need hours for a peach crop to set and make peaches The average date for peaches to be in full bloom is March 15th. It is quite a sight to behold especially in one of our larger orchards that had several different peach varieties and you can see the different colors of pink in a graduated sequence. It’s hard to take a picture you can appreciate like being here in person to see it.
We are expecting our 3rd grandchild this week and will be off to assist in caring for the family for a couple of weeks. We wish we had all of our family close by but will travel however far to be a part of our grandchildren and children’s lives.
