open sesame....

My wonderful gardener came in and pruned the peach tree. It is a beautiful pink blossom in spring and because I love it so much, I have let it get a bit out of control. This meant there was too much shade on the patch and also over the fence on the neighbour's yard.... so it was pruned.

Now there is light.......

see my little sunflower..... she finally sees the sun!

At the moment, the peach tree is still sleeping, although a close inspection this morning reveals swelling buds. I planted this tree 2 years ago and at that time, it was as tall as me. Now, she towers over the patch and provides good shade in the middle of summer. Last season I saw some small fruit on a couple of  limbs, I wonder what I will get this season? Fortunately I have to prune it too, so I will get some great sprigs for the house.
