Peach harvest

From my 2 Red Haven and 1 Reliance dwarf peach trees, I've just harvested 3 bushels of peaches. Even I was surprised to get that much from one year. And that doesn't count the bushel worth on the ground that the dratted birds pecked and ants and earwigs then moved into. We salvaged what we could in a separate bucket for jam but there was a lot the birds wasted on us. Next year.....NETTING!! 

Although the trees were sold as dwarf, they've grown into almost semi dwarf trees, hence the yield.

Yes, most of the 2 bushels will be bottled, the nicer large peaches will be for eating and any damaged ones will turn into jam and peach marmalade. I wish we could stretch out the harvest more for fresh eating but the darned bluejays are destroying so many. About an hour after we picked the trees clean, the jays were outside the windows screaming their heads off because we'd taken 'their' peaches
