At Last!

My waiting has finally paid off. On April 3, 2008, I planted a Garden Gold peach tree hoping it would bring me edible fruit. It did! It did! My back yard peaches are ripening. The peaches aren’t giant, but they are definitely peaches. I keep forgetting to get some sticky tape to wrap the trunk with, so ants are attacking my beautiful peaches, but some of them are unscathed. I picked some yesterday. They taste like peaches. Woo hoo!

There are still more ripening on the tree. I hope to get one so ripe and juicy that store-bought peaches are ruined for me for the rest of the summer.

The tree is only three feet tall!  Amazing!

    Lloyd’s going to be moving to Baltimore to eat all those peaches. I hope you have room for a bunch of computer equipment.

    I am actually a peach inspector, and will be requiring you to send me some peaches for inspection. I have been authorized to conduct this inspection by the department of homeland security.
