Peach Update

In late March, I posted on Prunus persica or the peach tree as I began watching the orchard I pass on my way to the beach develop fruit.  By early May, the peaches had begun to form, though they were very small. 


This weekend I passed the plants again and the peaches have been developing steadily. 


It's fun to track a specific plant in "real time" and truly appreciate what goes into getting a simple piece of fruit.  More so, you can appreciate the financial risks involved for the farmers.
