Fruit Everywhere 水蜜桃

This year we have finally been blessed with a bumper crop on our fruit trees 水蜜桃成熟的時間到了! 今年樹上的水果很多, 真是豐收! This is really surprising given the bad weather we have been having this year so far.

The loquat 枇杷 tree produced a lot of fruit in early spring and now our peach tree has just produced a huge crop of really delicious white peaches. That tree has a history. I originally bought another fruit tree for that spot, but to my surprise and dismay it only produced ‘male’ flowers 公花. That means that there must be female flowers and bees around for there to be fruit. Never being one to enjoy complexity in gardening,, I returned it and bought a self-fruiting “tropical snow” white male peach which I knew would be a favorite of my wife 太太喜歡吃的.

As you can see, well maybe it is a little hard to see, this tree has really grown into a monster 這棵樹長得很快, but it is well worth it. We have given peaches away to my in-laws, to my parents, to our cell group at church, to just about any friend who wants some and we still have baskets of ripe peaches lying around. My next project will be to mix fresh peaches with French vanilla ice cream 香草冰淇淋 for a home-made ‘peaches and cream’ flavor ice cream 水蜜桃冰淇淋.
