Copious fruit. That time of year.

I started harvesting my Frost peaches this evening about a week earlier than last year. I started Aug. 31st in 2011. Last years bruised and spoiled quickly. I think I harvest a little to late.

and who says you need chemicals.

I already emailed the Co-op to see if they are interested.

Well done! They look great!!! I truly wish I had enough space and the right climate to grow such beautiful fruit!

had an early hot spring, and everything looked like it would be a copious fruit year...until the (probably inevitable) two hard frosts in april. glad your fruit year's going better.

Yummy!
Try Paula Dean's peach cobbler recipe.

I thought you were going to say that your peaches are early this year -- I'm thinking my Enterprise apples are ripening earlier than usual....

Applestar,
Sent some peaches home with the neighbor. The next day, some were returned as peach pie. Now that is how you do it folks! Yum.

So far I delivered 50lbs of Frost peaches, 25lbs of Discovery apple and 25lbs of Shenseiki Asian pears to the Co-op.

My Aronia berries harvest for the year. Probably would have been double but I shared with the birds.
Mix a few Aronia berries into your sourdough pancakes. Excellent!
