Brooklyn Dirt & Dreaming of Peaches
Back in February, the hubs and I went to a talk on "dirt". While we were there, we had our photo taken by a writer from Brooklyn Bread. Brooklyn Bread is a monthly community magazine that features community events. Our photo made it to the feature on Brooklyn Dirt. We are the last photo, 2nd row right. Pretty cool.
Here's a look at what's happening in our backyard. The most exciting thing happening right now is that our peach tree is blooming! I love the pink blossoms. It is so pretty!
Here's a look at the whole tree. The tree is pretty small. I'm not sure how old it is, since it was here when we moved in over a year ago. I'm guessing it's a 3-4 year old tree. Last year we lost all the peaches in a big wind storm. I'm hoping this year some of the peaches actually get big enough to ripen on the tree. I hope!

You're famous :) That is cool.
ReplyDeleteThe peach blossoms are really pretty, hope you get some peaches this year. Our apple tree is close to blooming, I think the flowers are as exciting to see as the fruit.
That peach tree is gorgeous, I hope you get some peaches too. How fun that you made the paper! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're celebrities! :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope the peaches come for you this year. The blooms are lovely.
Fun! Those are pretty flowers! It is such a cute little tree! Wishes for lots of peaches in your future!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on making the news! We used to have a peach tree in the side yard. The blossoms were so pretty I clipped a branch once to bring inside to force -- then I realized I was jeopardizing future peaches. Better to just enjoy them on the tree!
ReplyDeleteHome grown peaches?? Wow. Our next door neighbors have pears, but peaches? I don't know anyone who has them here in NYC! Incredible!
ReplyDeleteI hope they come back for you! The blossoms sure are gorgeous.
Congrats on making the paper.
ReplyDeleteAll our plums have fallen off this year.
