Last year we gave our peach Espalier a hard prune and it barely produced any fruit.  This year we have HUNDREDS of peaches and they are almost ready to harvest.  I didn’t get around to thinning them out so I’m hoping with lots of water and a another week or so of warm weather, we’ll be able to harvest most of them.

In other garden related news, we’ve been enjoying a lot of our fresh veggies in our cooking: zucchinis, peas and blueberries that last few weeks and the runner beans are covered in thousands of red flowers and a few beans are ready to pick.  The apple trees and heavy with fruit as are the pear and plum trees.  We’re in the midst of a record breaking heat wave and a regional water shortage so keeping everything watered has been challenging.
