There's a population explosion in progress in our back yard.
Green fuzzy orbs are expanding on the peach tree.
They are about the size of golf balls now, and my thoughts turn to how to protect my sweetings from marauding Blue Jays.

I have netting. I may have to wrap the tree in it. Though it looks fair ridiculous having a tree with a hair net on all summer I can tell you. And I caught a stupid Jay in the tree once even with the net, year before last.
I also thought about getting a fake owl to put on the fence nearby. I don't know if that will work. I may have to do a search and find out what the tricks of the trade are with peach trees and birds.
But for now they are safe I imagine.
There's nothing quite like lounging in the garden swing looking up at them peeking out from the leaves.
I can smell the peach butter simmering already.
