Fall Harvest

Three years ago, we planted a peach tree (we actually planted 2, but that's another story), and this is the first year we got any fruit from it. I know, it isn't the best looking tree - I'll learn about pruning in the years to come - but we have been really excited for our first crop of peaches. I didn't realize the peaches were even ripe until Brandon came over, took a few and reported that they were ready - I was just thrilled to sit and look at them.

Overall, they were on the small side, but they were juicy and flavorful.

I gave a couple of bags away and Curt & I ate quite a few - so with the few remaining, I made a peach crumble. Doesn't look to bad hu?
What, you can't see any peaches? They were there, under that yummy crumble topping
Can't wait for next year's crop! Peaches are the BEST!
