Pickled green peaches 🤞🏻I found some recipes for pickling the green peaches that you thinned from the tree so giving it a go. I’m the least #domesticgoddess person out there so I hope they taste nice. They are meant to be like olives, and great in salads. I added in sugar, honey, black peppercorns and cloves of garlic. And I couldn’t find a big enough clear jar so i had to use my green air tight container, hence everything having a green filter 💚😂#pickledgreenpeaches #peachwatch2019 #peachwatch #thinning #junedrop #pickling (at Surbiton) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbNdkNAXnB/?igshid=15p0cxlr3oxz0

🌟 I hope the bees were busy when it was warm as I wasn’t here to help with any #pollination, not that I’m very good at it as we didn’t have any fruit last year despite my efforts after the #beastfromtheeast #wewantpeaches 🍑 #peachwatch2019 #peachwatch #peachblossom #peachblossoms #blossomwatch #balconygarden #balconygardening (at Surbiton) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv3-rHXAmdT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=a58bry36q3es

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸#blossomspam #sorrynotsorry #hanami #blossomwatch #peachwatch2019 #peachblossom #peachwatch Today’s @robgmacfarlane word of the day is ‘micro-season’, in the classical Japanese calendar the year is divided into 72 five-day micro-seasons or kō. And according to the Japanese calendar, 11–15 March is 桃始笑, "First peach blossoms". It literally reads ‘peaches start to smile’ which I love 💕 🌸 - my #peachblossom #peachtree is about to smile. #accidentally lfie #flectionselfie #nofilter #selfie #balconygardening #balconygarden #containergardening #桃始笑 #blossomwatch #blossom #blossoms (at Surbiton - Greater London) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu3VQxjgEkE/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lrkqkrjxo9nl

Believe - you’re right @littlecoastalgarden, I just needed to believe the #peaches might ripen 🤞🏻I think this is the first peach blush 🍑Fingers crossed for warmer weather and sunshine so they can ripen. My #pickledgreenpeaches experiment didn’t really work as the unripen fruit is mostly stone, but the pickles was just the right combo of sour and sweet. #peachwatch #peachwatch2019 #peaches #thegardeninggoodlife (at Surbiton - Greater London) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1QecTZgB6q/?igshid=1v85q69zgeqac

#peachwatch2019 🍑#peachwatch progress The #peaches haven’t really grown much but I’m hoping they might have a growth spurt now that summer is here. I’ve also given it some feed too. #balconygarden #balconygardening #containergardening #thegardeninggoodlife (at Surbiton) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0eWtZigkb7/?igshid=1m5p363r7uhtf

Heartbreaking 💔 49 green peaches removed from the tree to encourage big and juicy peaches 🤞🏻🍑 #peachwatch2019 #peachwatch #fruitthining #thining #junedrop #peaches #thegardeninggoodlife #balconygarden #balconygardening #containergardening (at Surbiton) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbMig_AJdD/?igshid=1l4lkwbdrivl3

June fruit drop - I’ve just learned about this natural phenomenon! @royjbarker asked me in an earlier post whether I was going to thin the tree and being the inexperienced gardener, I said I was leaving them all. I’m glad that nature knows what to do. I’ve been reading up on it and it says for inexperienced gardeners, I should consider thinning after the June drop, so I’ll be more ruthless then. It seems counterintuitive to remove fruit when it has taken so hard to pollinate and grow fruit, but it helps the remaining fruit to get bigger and juicier, and to prevent the tree from overloaded damage. So sorry @monicaleunghs and @nicola_wai, I’m not sure I’ll have enough to make you #peachjam 😂 #junedrop #junefruitdrop #containergardening #balconygarden #balconygardening #peachwatch2019 #peachwatch #peaches #thegardeninggoodlife (at Surbiton) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzVgw4Ng72J/?igshid=1x00cg85z8xxo
