It's almost peachtime in St. George again and our little 4 foot peach tree is about ready. But the chipmunks and raccoons know that too and made an early incursion into our crop and got several green peaches. Hope they got a belly ache. This inspired my hubby to build a net enclosure around our tree which seems to be working. Let you know in a few weeks the results.

PEACHES! One of our greatest blessings.... I hope you savor each and every one of them slowly when they ripen!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! You’re so lucky. I’m very jealous!
ReplyDeleteGood luck guarding your peaches. Raccoons can get into just about anything. If they attack again, you might have to pick the peaches green and let them ripen inside.
