Several volunteer peach trees have appeared in my garden over the past few years, and I decided to grow three of them in pots.  Each spring they get up-potted. They spend spring, summer, and fall under the south-facing eaves of my house in order to protect them from rain, and where they get a nice amount of summer sun.  They spend the winter months in my unheated workshop.

This year all three produced fruit, so I found out that two of them seem to be nectarines.  Only the peach tree was able to produce mature fruit, and I harvested almost a dozen peaches in September.  They were small, but the flavor and texture were outstanding.  They were the best peaches that I've tasted in years.  This summer was warmer than usual, but I hope that the success continues next year, including with the nectarines.
