P is for peaches

ripe a couple of weeks early this year. i still have a whole peck (peck of peaches?) too high to reach by conventional means. have to find a fruit harvesting pole right quick (like tomorrow)

don't you wish you lived near me? i'll be making preserves from many of these (time to use those vanilla beans i bought recently) - vanilla peach jam, and maybe a brandied peach jam or maybe a roasted peach jam with brown sugar.

such an amazing growing season this year. high hopes for the tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers i have out there, then potatoes, then apples
