Are Y'all Ready for Some Peaches?

Peach picking has begun in earnest for the 2010 season. Roadside stands will begin to spring up all over the countryside selling peaches and other fruits, veggies, preserves and such.

This years peach crop in Gillespie County is shaping up to be the best in at least six years. The peach tree in my yard was so heavy with fruit it fell over a few days ago :-(

The first varieties, which are clingstones, are ripening now and will continue through May. June will bring semi-freestones to the table. It is expected that the harvest will continue into August.

This is Gillespie County at it's finest. God Bless the farmer and the rancher and remember...never cuss a farmer with your mouth full. Come and get it!
