I've got a tiny little peach tree which I grow in a container, I know it's never going to give me a huge harvest but I grow it for the novelty factor more than anything. Unfortunately, the fruit it's produced this year just hasn't grown, there's quite a few peaches on the tree but they're all very small. Perhaps I should have thinned them a little.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17436932004631816039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3698134075709295915.post-6888043710653740602015-08-18T05:57:18.784-04:002015-08-18T05:57:18.784-04:00Beets and chard are the same species so they can c...Beets and chard are the same species so they can cross and their leaves taste similar.

I always grew beats for her and boy did she want the beat tops left on so she could cook those up to!

For supper tonight I pulled up turnips, carrots, one under ripe parsnip, and several peppers. Delicious, and very satisfying.
