Peach blossom

Last year I planted a peach tree in my French potager garden—okay, kitchen garden. It's been espaliered on the trellis that holds in my wild patch of raspberries. It had lots of beautiful pink blossoms this year and I am hoping for at least a few peaches, though I have read that I should pull them off and encourage new plant growth rather than fruit growth in such a young plant. I'll keep you posted!
