Didn't do much of anything but take dogs for a walk and snapped a couple pictures.
This is that seedling peach i grew out from peach pit. it's a strange peach tree, that blooms twice. First bloom sets, grows larger peaches. Second bloom sets, ittybitty peaches. We thinned all the second bloom sets and left just the first bloom sets. It's first bloom sets are fleshing up now, so a minor thinning is needed again. I have no idea the variety of this tree and probably never will. But am going to note it's ripening window for future refrence. The tree is a bit confused but I can work with it being confused.
Red haven still has a good bit of not ripe enough yet to pick fruit hanging. Atleast its banches aren't weighted down so much anymore. I suspose if I were going to market it's fruit, it would be picked all at once when it wasn't ripe. Makes no sense really, but it's what happens at orchards that market their fruit.
This red haven really produced well for us this season. FB said she would like more red haven trees. I told her I'm already a season ahead of her since I have several grafted and they should be ready to set out in a row this fall. She asked me, grafted from this tree? I said yes. She really liked that
Here's susposed to be what once was a classic. That I really miss from my childhood, golden delicious. It's modern day impersonator, yellow delicious sometimes also called golden delicious, but not near as good as I remember what a true golden delicious used to be. Hopefully we get some good ripe golden delicious apples this fall and they are as good as I remember they used to be. If not then I have planted a modern day impersonator. But the tree I purchased is said to be of the orginal golden delicious. I won't really know until we get a ripe apple to try?
I had to prop up it's branches so they wouldn't break.
Bartlett pears should be ready to start picking pretty soon
That is all for now... all you all, have a blessed evening.
