A group of small to medium size peaches, freshly picked from two youngpeach trees shit on a countertop. The small peaches have a deep red skin, while the larger peaches are a brighter red-orange.
All it took was six years of caretaking, many lessons learned, and luck (or possibly divine favor) with the weather to this point, but this year I have peaches! I'm grateful.

Ripening green peaches beginning to turn a soft pink as they grow on a peach tree branch.
My 7 year old peach trees (6 years in the ground here) look like they might just provide fruit this year. In the meantime, I'm taking this as a sign that they are happy and healthy and maybe I've hit my stride in caring for them. They sure are pretty though.

My peach trees are exploding with baby peaches!
I'm trying not to get my hopes up too far because these young peach trees have been temperamental in the past and need a lot of work, but I've never seen them get started like this.

A beautiful day for a ride in the car for a nice long walk! And for spraying the fruit trees with a parafin solution to help keep the bad bugs at bay thing spring. #backyardorchard #sunnyday #doggo
two light pink flower blossoms on miniature nectarine tree.
Nectarine blossoms! Just got this little Arctic Sprite Miniature #Nectarine tree last year and am hoping for fruit this Summer. Off to a good start. #flower #backyardorchard #fruittree #stonefruit #spring #permaculture #flowers #zone10B
The last two years they've awoken early, so I have to be ready this year!

I need to get out and spray the peach trees today. They're budding out, we're about to head into a much warmer week, & it's nearing their wake up time (though I'd like it if they can hold off for another month and let the pollenators wake up too).

An oldie but goodie. DWN is a valuable online resource for home orchard gardening. You don't need a lot of space to get started. #gardening #backyardorchard #foodforest youtu.be/ZV2kr50K7Is?...
12 pounds Santa Ana windfall Granny Smith apples turned into 4 pints applesauce, 3 pints apple butter, 7 half pints apple butter. The apple butter is confirmed delicious. Lots of apples left (most still on the tree.) #foodsky #canning #backyardorchard #grannysmithapples
