Only One

There was no peaches again this year, except this lone Peach I found in the Redhaven Peach tree.

Redhaven Peach has been more reliable at producing fruit than the Reliance Peach in my Iowa location.

This year has been a good crop of Sweet Onions.

They have to be harvested pretty quickly once mature, as rot can set in if it is too rainy.

I like all Wasps, except for when they sting me.

This Wasp does not sting though, but lays its eggs in the wood, killing woodboring insects.

Some of my Pristine Apples have had a pretty light color.

These have been great tasting apples.

The Magnolia Leaf Willow has big leaves for a Willow.

But this shrub has not proven very hardy in my location.

I have some Sichuan Pepper developing on my Prickly Ash Tree.

I just started growing this plant this year and has done great.

This shrub has grown slow for me, but it has two awesome features.

Red leaves and contorted branches adorn this unusual bush.

Chinese Necklace Poplar hasn’t been as easy to propagate from cuttings as other Poplars.

Though my numbers will slowly increase.

I have a nice row of trees in the Goat Pasture now.

I use cages and also electric fence to keep the goats from destroying them.
