Peach Tree - 22.7.09

ah fair play to you dawn what a success

brilliant!

Well Done Dawn it looks ssssssssoooooooo yummmmmmmmmmmmmiiii :)

thats amazing dawn!

Lovely, Dawn, great photo - it looks 3D, I could reach in and pick it :)

well done dawn are you going to share it with hubby or are there enough for you both heheeh

crikey Dawn you are doing well with your garden..The peach looks so delicious.........

OH WOW ... Dawn .. fantastic .it will be delicious , my son and grandchildren were staying when our first one was ready the other year , the peach had to be shared 6 ways .....LOL...

Thanks everyone. How are your's Amy?
This is the biggest so far, its the size of a tennis ball!
As I've said before - I told my husband it would never fruit as too cold here but it has proved me wrong.
I will be sharing mine up to with the family Amy. So when would you say they will be ready - mid August??

Yes about mid August Dawn depending on how much sunshine we have ! , usually when the family are here on Holiday .. I haven,t looked at mine today . That will be my first thing to do tomorrow , I don,t think that I have one the size of a tennis ball , yours could be the winner ....LOL...

Now showing my age Dawn ..one of my favourite albums Eat a Peach by Allman Brothers ..

We'll see Amy - knowing my luck this one will drop off, it is the biggest one, maybe as it has this branch all to itself. I dont think I would have had so much success without your advice Amy - with the peach leaf curl problem and all that. It still needs its little umbrella though.

Ha ha, Ray/Jane - not familiar with Allman Bro's but like the sound of their album. David Bowie was one of my early age favourites, lol. Most other girls were into Donny Osmond!!

You probably heard and not realised it Dawn ..Jessica is the theme tune to Top Gear by them and Duane Allman played guitar solo on Layla ( Derek and the Dominoes with Clapton ) .

Lou Reed a big favourite always get brownie points when listen to Sweet Jane ..aww

No Ray, didnt realise the Top Gear theme was one of their's and I know Layla too :-) Dont let Toto know about Sweet Jane.

Only play it Christmas ..just before I open my pressies usually take it off quickly as I open the tenth pair of socks ..lol

Ha ha Ray - has the bad weather affected your gardening?

No Dawn Jane just hands me a fresh pair of socks and tells me to get back to it !

If weather real bad during week I go at week ends .

Aww bless - but I dont believe that, lol.

Dawn well done, i'd be wonting to frame it.

Thanks Clarice - its is pretty unbelievable to see peaches growing in the garden. The tree is happy though, growing up against a south facing wall :-)

It is and we've not had that good weather for it to grow.

I think the excellent Spring weather did it good Clarice, as other years it has been frosted, it would be nice for it to have some more sun soon.

Think it would be nice for us all to get some more sun, have to admit its not cold its just so windy, and wet, with sun in between the showers.

I think so too Clarice, same weather as yours here. Just popped outside earlier though and quite cool.

lovely looking fruit.

it looks scrumpious Dawn...

Thanks Seab and Sandra. Amy says her's are usually ready mid-Aug :-)
Still hanging on after all the rain, wind and hail!

Great Dawn, this looks really tasty, glad the tree came good for you. Heres to many more.

Thanks Bob - there are quite a few on so lets's hope they can survive all this rain

How great to have your own peaches.......

It was HollyE, just hope it fruits next year after its pruning the other week.

im sure it will...............

My fingers and toes are crossed HollyE. We had a mild spring here this time which I'm sure helped. Its only a young tree, about 4 years old so did us proud this year.
