What did you do in your orchard today?

[CrealCritter]

I got 2 originally. One winter killed the first winter. The other grew poorly until it froze back the same winter I had -27°F in early November followed by a major January thaw followed by -20°F temps followed by a major February thaw again followed by -20°F temps. It was the same year that killed mature Russian Elm trees.

When it came back from the roots, it grew much better than it had before. It is now about 20' tall but hasn't produced that well here. Too many late frosts. It will do better in an area that is not as inhospitable to fruit trees as here.

The Garfield Plantation cherries sold by Fedco are on their own roots and can grow into full sized trees. .The cherry is different than most tart cherries and is not fully red when ripe. They do have shades of yellow on the cherries and are tasty.

In hindsight I probably should have went with Garfield Plantation, then I could propagate and sell them without the permission from the trademark holder.

Surecrop is protected via trademark "Stark® Surecrop™ Pie Cherry Tree from Stark Bro’s"

While I can propagate trademarked fruit trees, I must respect the trademark holder’s rights and not use the trademarked name or label the resulting plants.

Find a recipe for a peach BBQ glaze for ham or a peach sauce for over ice cream. I know you don't do the alcohol thing, but the peach bourbon glaze I canned we like very much.

She said something about peach rum jam. I try and not guide or question, just enjoy the eats.

My mother always canned peach halves. Took less time and effort than slicing them. You can always slice them when you open a can.

I enjoyed canned peach halves.

Peach and plum jam made with prune type plums such as Stanley or Italian is excellent. You want to use plums that aren't fully ripe and grind them and the peaches coarsely.

FB didn't come close to following this recipe. Not 7 cups of sugar , 1 cup organic cane sugar . Not carmalized ginger (yet more sugar), organic ginger. Not pectin, low sugar pectin. Not burbon, rum. Not a sugar bomb, delicious .

Glad she used her taste buds, instead of blindly following a recipe. She sure made those marginal peaches delicious I'm sure my blood glucose, appreciates her also.

FB said something about spiced peach butter with the remaining peaches. She also asked me how I was doing on hamburger buns. I told her I have 1 left.

Spiced peach butter from marginal peaches, delicious. Thankful it's NOT pumpkin spiced, it's about that time of the year again, it's it?

Homemade hamburger buns made with simple ingredients and organic flour a d yeast that doesn't spike out blood sugar. Have to store in the freezer, because these will mold

Decided to check bay laurel cuttings, found the first breaking bud. Surprised, its only been 19 days and it's a non-green wood cutting. I counted the growth rings, best I can tell it's 7 years old cutting. I watered it with warm water and set outside in a safe place, to get some partial sun and warmth.

I probably want be around much for a while, I'll be spending most of my free time studying.

Hope you all have a blessed day
