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. 

Have a great weekend.
