4. entry; my peach tree is full the first year it bore fruit, I was in the hospital, so all the peaches fell off and rotted away last year, a late frost killed all the buds, so this year, it is so full of fruit I am afraid the branches will break off

That's an amazing amt of peaches! We have a Zone 4 peach tree here in Wisconsin that was loaded like that and it did break some branches. Last fall we pruned it a lot, and must've shocked it because we'll not be getting any this year. They are the best peaches though so hopefully next year!

When it’s bending the branches down like that, you should take half of them off. My little apple tree was like that and it’s sad, but you need to sacrifice some so that the ones you leave on there can grow big and strong and delicious

Entry 2: climbing rose

 

[Oxydziedhens]

A gorgeous rose in the process of going from a bud into full bloom in mine and my mums garden I don’t know the name of it just yet as my mum planted it awhile ago and she forgot the name and I was a child at the time she planted it
