Food forest harvest: peaches. First year this peach tree has fruited!

This Flamin Fury peach seems to be an earlier variety than the other two variations we have that started fruiting last year. This tree almost died back to the ground when I planted it a few years ago and it's come back strong so I'm impressed that it is already producing.

Been picking a few ripe peaches here and there for the last few days but it seems that now is the time to harvest the majority of them. We don't do anything as far as treatments go to our fruit trees. Last season we noticed if we tried to wait until most of the peaches reached peak ripeness on the tree that we lost many to mold. This year we are trying to harvest a little early and let them ripen in the fridge.

Most of our peach trees are different variations of the flamin fury variety from a local breeder that has been working on breeding cold tolerant peaches for a couple generations. You can order them from Grandpa's Orchard Nursery.

Food forest harvest: garlic

Finally found time to harvest the garlic in the food forest. Experimented with some different bed preparations and had mixed results. The best method ended up being what I did last year: broadfork, add compost, broadfork, much with manure packed straw, plant.

Even though the other methods of using woodchips as mulch and only manure packed straw weren't as good, there was enough garlic planted to harvest more than last year.

I think we are going to need it with all the peppers and cucumbers growing in the garden that we will pickle. Not to mention, garden salsas and garlic powder now that we have a Bitcoin dehydrator.

I like the concept of #permacultures. Though I am struggling to find the right mix that is suitable for me.

Garlic is done curing

After letting the garlic cure for a few weeks, I cut the stems off and trimmed the roots. Ended up with almost 7lbs. We will save 4lbs for eating and replant the rest. I tried planting a few different ways at few different times last season but the best seemed to be planting early September in sheep manure packed straw. This year I don't think I'll have time to experiment with the garlic so I'll just stick with what worked best last season.
