I love peaches. They are one of my favorite fruits. So, I somehow got it into my head that I wanted a peach tree. We went down to Lowes but they only had cherry and apple trees, which are great too, but no peaches. Actually, we recently added two mini-dwarf honeycrisp apple trees to our backyard! But as of yet they are just barely leafing. So on our quest for the peach tree I suggested to Britton that we go to Eaton Grove nursery before heading off to Estes. It was so fun.

Britton didn’t think that they would have peach trees, but lucky for me, we found a cutie with nice leaves and some mini-peaches all covered in fuzz. It is called a “Frost Peach” so it will do a little better than some other varieties of peaches in this area of Colorado. Colorado has great peaches, but most are found on the western slope (Grand Junction area).

I can’t wait to take a bite out of one of our luscious peaches or apples! I guess this is kind of like Puerto Rico with all the fruit trees around, just different types of trees, and you can’t eat from them year round.

We planted it in our front yard so that it would have more sunlight

I love visiting nurseries and could spend WAY too much money there if I didn’t have discipline. But they had wonderful flowers, shrubs, food plants like peppers, tomatoes. Everything. It was so fun.

They had some gorgeous roses
