\'Bota brings in the harvest

We did a little backyard peach harvest today. The bare forks seem to work best without a pallet for the workers in the trees, since the forks themselves don't seem to get mixed up with the branches. After working for awhile, finding the fork with your foot becomes pretty easy. My trees are full dwarfs, so most of the time its just 4 feet to the ground. I wouldn't recomend using this procedure for full sized trees!
I used a piece of plywood for my table on some Home Depot plastic saw horses. When we were done, just pick up the table and bring it to the house.
The best part of the job will be the aromas in the house the next couple of days!!! /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Well... it turned into 3 pp (peach pie) which will be abbreviated 3PP for this forum. Son is now arguing trying for his second slice!! By the time you got here from MI, you might be in the second batch. SteveV

The peach festival is about 10 miles from my house this weekend. I think I might go for a slice there but I doubt it will taste as good as home grown and baked by your wife. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif Life is goood. Dave

Re: \'Bota brings in the harvest

I haven't seen such a nice looking peach crop since I left NJ 30+ years ago.... sure miss those sweet juicy NJ peaches... the ones that you get in the market just don't make the grade. Found a farm in MA that grew peaches a few years ago, but they gave it up for the past few years.... guess there isn't enough $$$$$ to make it worth the effort... Junkman on the MA/CT line...
