Peaches & Nectarines

Remember the Nick's peach tree with 5 peaches on?? Well they are gone Monday.....disappeared ......................Seeds were on the ground.

Tuesday morning, the nectarine tree was empty I mean cleaned up.......................and there was 107 nectarine seeds around the tree on the ground....................wow!!! they were almost ready..........so Tuesday night we installed 2 traps & Nick camped out for awhile , saw a raccoon going back to the creek and something else coming from the pasture.....but it was dark & went back to bed.

What a surprise when I went feed the animals in the morning to see a mother opossum sitting quietly by the tree. She had a leg in a trap & the tail in the other. She had 8 babies in her pouch. She was ready to climb in the other peach tree & have a blast. Bummer for her.

Now we are set waiting for the coon or Mr Possum who knows, hopefully we will keep our 7 peaches left & the apples.........................to be continued.
