So, I have been paying close attention to my peaches.  There seems to be a plethora of peaches on our two trees.  If we can keep the fungus, larvae, and birds from destroying them all we should get a few to eat this year.  The plum tree may fall over from the weight of all the fruit once it all matures.  The tart cherry tree has just started to produce fruit.  It seems that we should have a nice harvest of fruit this year as long as nature cooperates.

 

The rain sure was nice today!  It filled up the rain barrel.  Free water!!!
