Peach Week 2015

I cherish the years that my Peach trees produce, since they do not produce fruit every year. This year will not be as great as the glorious 2013, where I had over a thousand pounds of fruit, but the Redhaven Peach will provide a lot of peaches for fresh eating.

Poor Little Milkweed

I came across a Milkweed plant that was full of Milkweed Tussock Moth and Monarch Caterpillars. Milkweed is a common weed around here. Lately I have been mowing around them and generally letting Milkweed live and propagate, to help some of the insects that depend on this toxic plant.
