Now I need to baby that tree through the winter. I'm sure hoping that it makes it.
There are also melons getting done in the garden-
Next year I hope to add a couple of pear trees to the orchard and maybe another apple tree.
Have a great weekend.

Minnesota Peaches??
Up here, where -40 is a very normal January temp, fruit is harder to grow. I get excited every time I get melons from the garden, or plums on the trees. This year I found a peach tree at the local nursery that is supposed to be good for zone 4. Well, we're a zone 3, but I thought I'd try it anyways.
Only two peaches, but they sure tasted good.
We spit them both four ways so we could each get a taste.
Now I need to baby that tree through the winter. I'm sure hoping that it makes it.
There are also melons getting done in the garden-
And a couple of watermelons that might make it, I hope.
Next year I hope to add a couple of pear trees to the orchard and maybe another apple tree.

Oh, how we would love to be able to grow a couple of peach trees up here. We were just out in the apple tree area yesterday looking at where we could fit in another couple/few trees. Thanks for posting this, it gives me encouragement that peaches just might be able to make it up here near the tundra!
