The Picking of the Peaches
By Doug | August 16, 2008
One of the traditions of the late summer for the Garland family is going to a you-pick-it place to get peaches. Today we went to Fisher’s Orchard in Greer, SC to renew the tradition. Only one type of peach was currently ripe. The lack of rain throught the year appears to have delayed the normal time table. It took about 30 minutes to pick one bushel of very nice fruit. Another type will be ready in about two weeks. We ate a few of the peaches for lunch and dinner. The girls made a “hurry-up peach pie” for our evening snack that we will eat while watching the Olympics. We plan to give some of the peaches to Abby and Lincoln and to friends. Most of the peaches will be frozen for use during the winter. In about 6 week or so, we will make a similar trip for apples.
