How to Maximize Your Organic Fruit Bounty by Planting Peach Trees for Consecutive Harvests
As gardeners, many are already aware of the benefits of successive planting strategies. Planting a row of beets, carrots, peas, etc. every two weeks during planting season allows for you to harvest continually as long as the weather allows. But did you know that same concept can be applied when planting fruit trees?
For instance if you like peaches and have decided to plant a peach tree in your yard, why not plant a series of trees that produce at different times, allowing for longer periods of harvesting? This gives you an extended bounty of organic, local fruit from the closest possible source - your own backyard.
I love organic peaches, and nothing says summer like a fresh peach still warm from the afternoon sun, ripe and juicy, they’re fantastic. But with a typical peach tree there’s an intensive couple of weeks where hundreds of peaches are suddenly ripe and ready to be processed or eaten. The massive canning and freezing undertaking can get tiresome and make even the stoutest gardener think about resenting the sudden influx of delicious fruit.
