I am happy to report that Hubby harvested four wee little peaches from our tree today. The birds were starting to go at them, so it was time. But let me tell you, what they lacked in size they more than made up for in taste! They were juicy and sweet like I could not believe! I have rarely, if ever, had a store bought peach like that.
I suspect that they were small because the tree is small. We bought it this spring and re-potted it into a larger pot, but we are not putting it in the ground until we move, some time within the next year.

In other garden news, aggressive weeding has killed my squash plants. (I should have picked those blossoms and filled them with goat cheese when I had the chance!) The tomatoes are coming along, and finally have buds! The herbs are growing well. The dill is going like gangbusters, but the cilantro is only just thriving and not in a way where I can really use much. The lavender never even sprouted! *pout* The basil is doing well, and Hubby has been adding cigar ashes to them to see if that brightens them up a bit. They are doing well, but I generally don't count them as they were not grown from seed.
My dreams of buckets of green squash are dashed, but I am hoping for boatloads of tomatoes to make delicious recipes!! If that happens, of course I will be posting them here! This weekend I am going to a formal high tea. I will post pictures of my homemade clotted cream and lemon curd (if I remember).
Everyone enjoy your holiday weekend!
