Peaches!

Almost-ripe peaches from my backyard tree. I pruned and fertilized according to R. Sanford Martin and Ken Andersen's "How to Prune Fruit Trees and Roses" and Pat Welsh's "Southern California Organic Gardening." The tree has some peach leaf curl, which is a disease, so this winter I will treat the tree with Bordeaux mixture. My aunt gave me some while I was visiting her in Oregon, so I'm ready!
