I couldn't leave without a photograph of the iconic red trowel!   Plantoir by Claes Oldenburg and Cassje van Bruggen. It commemorates the 100th anniversary and it's role in gardening through publication.

The Contender Peach

The Contender Peach

All Summer long, two little peaches were growing on our new Peach trees.
Yesterday was Peach picking day!
Someone ate one before it could be photographed!
So here is our other pride and joy.
Delicious!
If your looking for a Peach tree for Zone 4–put this on your list for next Spring.
They are self pollinating, grow to about 15 ft, and produce a medium to large size fruit.
Supplies are limited of this tree, so shop early.
Hoping for a bigger crop next year.
