One of the things I like about living in the small town that I do, is all the farms and orchards we have so close at our hands. Our children are growing up with several friends that live on farms, and my two boys are so lucky to get to run around with their friends, picking apples, strawberries, tasting peaches and petting sheep, horses, bunnies and chasing chickens.
My youngest son has a good friend who lives on Shelburne Farm, the oldest pick-your-own apple orchard in eastern Massachusetts. I visited today after the owner had sent me an e-mail saying that the peach trees were in bloom. Thank you!
Near leafless trees, covered in thousands of delicate pink little blooms. It's quite the sight for the eye. I can't seem to capture with the camera exactly what I experienced. Peach blossoms, on its own or en masse, either way they are so beautiful.
The trees will bear fruit ready to eat around August, which seems like an eternity from now. Hopefully, the weather will cooperate and hopefully no damaging frost nights will threaten this years crop. Because I'm planning to sit on this bench below with my sons eating the first peaches of the season.
Annelie, you've certainly captured Spring with those blossoms. Really lovely photos. And, yes, August does seem a quite far away!
ReplyDeleteThose peach blossoms are so beautiful! I know of a few gardeners near here that successful grow Reliance. I might just have to try it!
ReplyDeleteSO beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteVad ljuvligt underbart inlägg! Vilken lycka att kunna bo så till som du gör. Jag kan riktigt se framför mig persikoträdens alla blommor genom dina bilder.
ReplyDeleteVackert skrivet om att du tänker avnjuta säsongen första persikor sittandes på bänken tillsammans med din son.
Ha det så jättebra Annelie!
Nu ska jag ut till växthuset och förhoppningsvis så de sista fröerna.
