Peachy Peachy!

Our peach tree is loaded with peaches.

The tree was planted by the previous home owners, so it's over 20+ years old now.  It had some sort of fungus when we moved in and it's only gotten worse over the years, slowly killing it.  I've been pruning the dead limbs each fall for the past several years, so there's really not too much left.  The peaches are super tasty but they too have something going on with them - they have, what I'd call, rust spots on them with some oozing sap.  Although, there is a lot of fruit hanging, sadly not too much is edible.

Our last rabbit, Jack, loved this time of the year and gobbled the peaches as fast as you could put them in his cage.  Even some of the chickens we've had in the past would enjoy them but not the ones we have now.  I swear these chickens we have now are like many kids today; fussy, entitled and spoiled, and want noting to do with peaches.

So, the wild rabbits and woodchucks eat their share but all others that fall end up in the compost pile.

I've been contemplating cutting the tree down, so I can reclaim that area and possibly have a shed installed.  This fall just might the time...
