@cheriere 

You have quite the gardens and crops! Wowzers, those peaches are glorious! Yummmm. Peaches and nectarines are like candy for me.

 

We want to move to a property, hopefully soon where we can have gardens. We live on some property (over 2 acres) but it's on a hill and covered in large/shady trees which I love but I also want an area for gardens with more land and privacy. Hard to find here....

 

Thanks for sharing!Smiley Happy

@GingerHead 

 

Thank you for the kind words.😃❤️

I hope you're able to find a place where you can have a little garden.  I do enjoy having fresh fruit and tomatoes in particular lol.  It seems like we put out everything.  I'm ready to cut back a little, at least in how much stuff we grow.  We put out a gigantic field of potatoes every year so we have enough to last all winter.  It's just so hard to work, the older you get.

Thank you.😃❤️

I've missed talking to you.  I was gonna ask in this post, but forgot...Do you eat a peach with the skin or peeled?

@cheriere I used to eat a peach with the skin. In the past few years I am starting to peel them first. I do the same thing with apples too! BTW how is your Mom doing?

@cheriere  Beauitful peaches and peach trees!! Now you can make a simple syrup out of peaches and make peach lemonade or you can make peach cobbler.  I love peaches, especially canned peaches.  Whenever I'm sad, I eat a few slices of canned peaches to cheer myself up.  How's your lovely Mom's hand doing? I remember it was in a cast and she had to do x-rays.  I hope her hand is doing better. All the best to you and your family and keep up the great work with your gardening and photography skills Smiley HappyHeart

Im the exact same way about peaches now lol.

She's doing a little better.  Her cast came off.  However, it did fuse to the wrong bone, but they're not bothering with surgery because of her age they said!  Instead, she's wearing a brace and they want to start physical therapy in six weeks.  Thanks for asking❤️❤️❤️

Lucky you!  What a beautiful sight.  Enjoy your cobblers, I am envious.  

Yellow peaches I peel skin, but white peaches I eat the skin.  I don't like the feel of the fuzz of the yellow peaches in my mouth.

Aww, thank you for always being so kind.  I hadn't thought about making a simple syrup with some, but that's a great idea!  Thanks.😃❤️. I know I'll make some cobblers and freeze some.  I'll give my aunt some too because she loves them.

Thanks for asking about mom.❤️. They finally took the other cast off and put it in a brace.  However, the bone did fuse to the wrong one.  They're not planning on doing surgery either because of her age.  She's supposed to wear the brace and come back in six weeks to start physical therapy.  I'm sure it'll hurt her some for the rest of her life.  I just hope it's not too bad.

@cheriere I hope she's still not in pain.
