I noticed that my peach tree has fruit. It didn't have anything last year. So, me and the wild life will get a few peaches this year!

That is great that you have peaches developing on your tree, Len. When I was in high school my family had a wonderful peach tree that produced lots of peaches each season. We froze a lot to use for cobblers and pies throughout the year.

Nice tomatoes, Mike! I am so looking forward to tomato season.

Those are great looking tomatoes, Mike.

My peach tree was started from a pit by my neighbor's father; he did a lot of fruit trees that way. My neighbors had one too, but it fell apart a couple of years ago. My tree doesn't look great, but at least I'll have this season (it has peeling bark). For years it produced tiny peaches but after pruning it about 5 years ago, it started producing normal size fruit. There's a lot of tiny peaches on it right now, so I'm hoping for a nice crop.

Len, I showed the pictures to my husband. His first degree was in forestry, and he still works with lots of trees in our woods, planting, protecting from deer, sometimes taking them down. He said that the area looks dead, which is why the bark would be peeling. It may be some kind of disease that peach trees get, caused by a fungus.

My husband just moved his two citrus trees, one grown from a tangerine seed and the other from a blood orange seed, outside for the summer. We doubt they will ever have fruit, but they are getting rather large.

Sadly, that is true, Len, but I'm not sure that there was ever anything that you could have done to stop it, from what my husband told me. I hope you will at least get this crop of peaches from it this year.
