WOW! The peach tree came through. Thanks to a larger population of foxes, the
squirrels were held at bay until the last 4 days before harvest. Three
squirrels were relocated.

The tree was so full of peaches, we had to prop it with a makeshift
scaffold

Scoreboard
This year there was no June drop, so we got lots of smaller peaches. Next year
we may thin a bit so we get some bigger ones.

Although not on the scoreboard, the Peach Bowl had a third participant which
we will call "bugs, worms, and other vermin." Lack of spraying chemicals
earned us organic status, but resulted in 25% of the crop having holes and rot
that needed to be cut out of the final product.
