Speaking of peaches, I planted some peach pits 4
years ago in a container. Now I have about 30 trees bearing the most beautiful
and good peaches. The remarkable thing is that they are staggered so that about
4 trees are ripe at one time and as those 4 go out four more come in. I am on my
third foursome now and have 4 more about ready to pick. Three of the next 4 are
grafted varieties, but the seedlings still have several trees to come in much
later. It is amazing how easy it was. I used very little pruning just once;last
year, and have good sized crops this 4th leaf from planting seeds. It has been a
major battle spraying for Japanese beetles. This has been a heavy year for June
bugs as well.
