Anyone else for an Unprecedented Bellaire Crop?
After the hard freeze we got over a month ago and the desolate landscape of dead plants lying lifeless both in my front and back yard, imagine my surprise this past weekend when, taking advantage of a couple of rays of sunshine, I went out to discover numerous purple blooms on my peach trees!!!
- Countless peach blossoms on the backyard peach tree!
These trees are only 4 years old and were started from a seed. Last year, we had about 6 or 7 fruits on each tree, but by the time they ripened, there were only 4 in total left for us to enjoy. The squirrels had beat us to them, although they had plenty of papayas to satisfy their hunger (and thirst, in the hot summer days). They were sweet and fragrant white peaches! Yum!
- Beautiful and healthy Bellaire blooms!
So, I am on the verge of getting excited about a potential abundant crop of peaches, but I will not get ahead of myself (and the squirrels…): I will just enjoy the blooms for what they are, and will wait for the fruits to surprise me! Does anyone else have a similar story to share? Or better yet, squirrel defense advice?
