When I find great Peaches I save the seeds. These are not just any Peaches, these are the ones that are over the top great. I had got some California Peaches at Rosemeade Market last week which I thought were that good, and added them to my collection of great Peach seeds. Now I had 10, accumulated over a couple years. Some are freestone, some clingstone, in both regular Peach color, and White Peaches. I decided that it was time to plant them.
So I managed to scrounge up ten pots, and filled them with my Compost Soil Mix. Then planted my Awesome Peach seed collection. I have them in a shady spot to sprout, and close to the Organic Bed so I can water them easy. The tree they are under I also started from a seed.
It is a native Live Oak Tree. There was an Live Oak Tree at a place where I worked, and I picked up some Acorns one day. I planted a few of them in small pots, much like the Peach Trees, and within a couple years I was able to plant one in the ground. Now its probably around 8 years old, and is probably about 15 feet tall.
