As a kid, I longed for June and July mornings when I could eat fresh-picked blueberries and cream for breakfast (and dessert). Come August, my family also ate peaches and cream for breakfast.

Today, I decided to marry the two for a delicious summer breakfast treat.

Movin’ to the country, Gonna eat a lot of peaches, Movin’ to the country, Gonna eat me a lot of peaches…

I really love your peaches, Want to shake your tree…

My brain keeps shifting back and forth between lyrics from two songs: The Presidents of United States of America’s Peaches and The Steve Miller Band’s Joker. Maybe it’s because the Hale Haven Semi-Dwarf Peach Tree in our mini orchard has produced a bumper crop for it’s first year! Today, I picked over 30 peaches with even more left on the tree (and 5 pits mysteriously on the ground…).

Even though we had fresh Georgia peaches (picked and shipped that morning) in our wedding cake, I’ve never actually been a peach fan.      <GASP!>      I know! Then, I took my first bite of our homegrown Hale-Haven peaches, and I’m sold!

The last week of August was always the Peach Festival at my childhood church. Now, I’m dreaming of my own peach festival…

Millions of peaches…

Wanna shake your tree…

Well, I got to run… This was short, but it’s time to eat another peach!

XOXO,

Last year, Hubster & I planted four weeping cherry trees and a Japanese maple. One weeping cherry didn’t make it through the first year, but we had a one-year warranty and replaced it. While we were at the garden center, we decided to finally start our own mini orchard.

The past few weeks we’ve been busy planting, mulching, and watering our 12 new trees. Two were ornamental; the weeping cherry and an Eastern redbud.

We planted 10 fruit trees in a line wrapping around from the top of the hill behind our house and curving down the hill to the left side of our house. The new mini orchard perfectly frames our pool, fire-pit, and hammock. Starting from the back to the front we planted one of each: Golden Delicious Semi-Dwarf Apple, Red Delicious Semi-Dwarf Apple, Methley Semi-Dwarf Plum, Bruce Semi-Dwarf Plum, Keiffer Semi-Dwarf Pear, Bartlet Semi-Dwarf Pear, Elberta Semi-Dwarf Peach, Hale Haven Semi-Dwarf Peach, Black Tartarian Cherry, and Bing Semi-Dwarf Cherry.

Foliage is Filling In

The foliage is already filling in nicely, and some small blooms have appeared. I’ll post an update once they’re a little more established.

XOXO,
