Peach Blossom Time in the Ozarks

Peach Blossoms


Growing peaches in the Ozarks is an excellent hobby for anyone who thrives on dashed hopes and expectations.  Here in northern Arkansas we are far enough south that longer days and warmer temperatures coax our peaches into bloom about this time -- or a little earlier -- every year, but we are far enough north that we will get at least one more hard freeze -- hard enough to destroy blooms or recently set fruit -- four years out of five.

A few random photos to wrap up our recent trip to the Texas coast.

I really don't see why Mom didn't plant a redder hibiscus.


We visited a little too late to see the peach blossoms.
