Boo hoo. All this rain we have been having over the last month or so has completely destroyed my one and only peach tree! Many of the peaches have fallen off the tree. The excessive water and flooding has ruined my peach tree's roots and I am saddened to report, there might not be any peaches this year! There are still a few peaches holding on but it doesn't look promising.
The same goes for my tomato plants. The ones I started from seed didn't grow much. So, I purchased four beefsteak tomatoe starters and even those four haven't grown much over the last few weeks. If I'm suffering with my peaches and my tomatoes, I'm certain many of the local farmers up here must be suffering also. It may look like we will have to pay a fortune if we want local (or imported) tomatoes and peaches. (A few years ago) I bought 4 peaches from a local farm and paid $25 for the privilege! Thus, that is why and how I have my own peach tree now. Oh well.
