Peach Promises

Two summers ago I took a chance and bought a peach tree.  When I purchased it, dainty little peaches lined its limbs.  At the time, it was a bit of a leap of faith.  I wasn't sure I would get peaches again but decided to take a chance.  When living in an urban environment, you have a better chance that someone nearby will have a pollinator.  Peaches are self fruitful, but having a pollinator is always a better bet.  I am proud to say my little tree is loaded with little fuzzy fruits.  If this wonderful weather holds and violent winds do not blow them off, I will be eating peaches this fall.
