Our compost pile has had a small fruit tree growing out the back of it for several years now. Jamie has insisted that it not be cut down. I reluctantly agreed...we keep a pretty casual yard and compost heap, and random trees sprouting here and there are a constant challenge. But this year the tree bloomed...nice big pink blossoms, right about the time the domestic cherry trees were blooming. But something about the leaves, that eventually developed the long, curved, slightly V -shaped look that I associate with peach leaves...and sure enough...tiny fuzz-covered fruit started to develop. I'm not sure if we must thin them out, or let it happen naturally, or hope that some peach disease doesnt take them all off ! this picture was taken yesterday, the 15th of May.
