Bulbs
Who has seen any signs of Spring?
I have bulbs poking a nose through the soil, what have you seen in your garden Spring like? Don't uncover anything yet because we have some very bad weather still to come. All we should be seeing are bulbs.

But other than that I am going to leave the fruit on and just see what happens. The trees are already confused enough, as to what time of year they think it is.....to pick them off will only stimulate them into being more confused and not want to go dormant. I have always read about fruit coming on so early in the winter, but first time for me that it has actually happened. .... good luck with yours... Guess we both fixing to learn something new.. |

Re: Bulbs
Is this helpful?
Peaches are very easy to grow. You should plant on a hillside, if possible, to avoid frost pockets or valleys where late season freezes could damage the blossoms or fruit (see Chilling Hours and Microclimates). Peaches also have a beautiful floral display in addition to producing fruit. Pest and disease management is important for commercial orchards to produce the highest quality fruit for market. Height: 10-15' Spread: 5-10' Pollination: Self-pollinating Flowers: Feb-Mar Bears: Apr-May in 1-2 years Light requirements: Full sun Soil type: Well-drained pH 6.0-6.5 Pruning: Open-center Vase Maintenance: Easy Hardiness Zone: 8-10 Plant the right chill hour cultivar for your location. Pests? ENY-804/IG075: Insect Management in Peaches

Re: Bulbs
Don't pick off your peach blossoms; it won't do any good because they only bloom once. I had an apricot in MD that often bloomed just before we got a wicked cold windy night; those years I didn't have to clean up the mess of fruit. (Finally found someone who would take all she produced.) If SC and GA peaches are also blooming this will be a bad year...sad.
