There was more flavor in this peach than 3 of the ones from the store. The tree is less than 3 feet tall, so I'm amazed I've going to get 7 peaches. It's been tough gardening with the heat and dry wind, but a few things are doing well. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, swiss chard and butternut squash. The grapes tasted wonderful, then the next day the birds discovered them and they were gone. I have a hooded oriole hanging around so seeing it is not a total loss.

A gardener's lot is not an easy row to hoe but it is a rewarding one, most of the time.

The peach looks very tempting. Here they put the bunches of eating grapes into paper bags to stop the birds getting them.

Posted by KateOahuI saw some pretty flowers on a walk today. I’d never seen a white Hibiscus before. And I do not know what the pink flowers are.
