Peaches and Gooseberries


This peach tree is one of 40 I've planted here, all grown from the Blackboy pits.


This ornamental gooseberry was grown from a cutting.

Have you tried peach leaf tea? Put 6 - 10 fresh, chopped leaves in a litre of water and let sit for half a day. Adjust to taste by adding more water if you need to (the leaves seem to vary alot depending on the tree). Deeply refreshing on a hot day.

cold water too (hot water makes a different medicine).
