No More "Black Thumb of Death"

That's right people of blog land. You read that title correctly! After losing tomatoes, strawberries, watermelon, and cucumbers to ground hogs, raccoons, birds and squirrels, I have finally grown a fruit! I planted a dwarf peach tree 2 years ago just after we moved into the house. The advertisement said it would produce fruit the 2nd year so I have been scouting out the branches of my little tree with little hope (need I say more?). Then I saw it! I have a peach!! Yes, it's just one so I won't be making any pies, but a success no less! 2 years of land cultivation failures are in the past! Here is my proof!!

sweet success!
