I discovered earlier this summer that I have a peach tree in my back yard. The tree has always been there, but this is the first year that I've actually seen fruit on it (thus identifying it as a peach tree). Rosey and I have had to wait all summer for the peaches to ripen but we have finally been able to harvest some of the fruit over the past week or so. Wow! Those peaches are incredible. They are some of the sweetest peaches that I've ever had. I've been cutting them up and eating them with some Breyer's Natural Vanilla ice cream. Who knew that something that good could grow right in my back yard?

Someone must have brought the tree in from Montana :)
My mouth is watering already. Are either of you going to can some of them, or are there that many?
Unfortunately, there were only about 8 of them. We are down to our last two peaches on the tree and then we will have to wait until next summer. We have a pear tree too, but the pears aren't doing as well. I'm not sure if the tree isn't getting enough water or if it just needs another year to fully mature.
