The Peach.

What is the first thing you think of when you hear the word peaches? Georgia? Ty Cobb? Fuzz? Juicy?

They convey the idea of summer to me.

I bought a new variety of peach at the grocery store yesterday. The sales receipt listed it as a "donut" peach. It is also called a Saturn Peach. It is quite small and sort of flattened. It remains to be seen if "donut" peaches will replace coffee shop doughnuts.

The little round sticker tells me everything I need to know about the "donut", and more. They are comparatively small but very beautiful.

You can grow this variety in your home orchard or buy them from a local commercial orchard. Though it seems like a non sequitur, Swiss chard too, can be grown at home, if you want. It is as beautiful, in its own way, as a peach.
