What a peach

[Brengirl]

I am so thrilled that my peach tree survived the frosts and have given me a bumper harvest. It is only 3 years old and there must be 2 dozen of the beauties. I don't think they are ready yet but how do you tell?




The squash from self save are also doing well although I havn't a clue what they are.

I check peaches by the thumb test (slight pressure) and that real peachy smell you get off them

Give the peaches a little squeeze and if they're soft to touch then they should be ready. They'll pick easily too and hopefully taste yummy.

Your peaches look great, mine are still green but i have peach curl so i lost a lot of leaves this year. I will treat it in the autumn. I had over 20 full sized ones last year and its only a dwarf tree!
