Who says peaches don’t grow in Iowa?
Unfortunately, these peaches represent about 25% of the peach harvest, or any fruit tree harvest for that case. All the plums, cherries, and most the peaches were lost in the May frost. If we’re lucky we’ll get a half-dozen apples as well. So, this won’t be a big jam or canned fruit year.
I sure hope peaches grow in Iowa, I just planted two peach trees this past spring. What a year I picked to do that. I live 6 hrs away from my farm and it is hard for me to get back there and water them. I have someone who is supposed to water them for me, and I hope they make it along withe the cherry, pear, and apple trees I planted. I hope to have fresh fruit when I retire to the farm in 3 years. Love your site.
Best Regards,
