4. At the peaches - June 2018

The sakurambo cherries are all harvested and sold. Now it's on to the peaches. Before the cherries we went round all the trees and reduced the number of peaches on each branch, and removed any odd shaped ones. Now that the peaches are bigger, we have to put them all in bags to protect them from the rain, and to stop the peaches going red.
