Early Peach Blossoms

Early Peach Blossoms 1

I planted a peach tree in our backyard. It’s fitting for Atlanta, but the tree thinks that Winter is ending…in the first week of February.

It’s great to see that the baby tree is ready to grow, but also not great that the weird weather is throwing it off.

January 2020 was the warmest January on record. And it followed a warm December and the 2nd warmest year on record.

But whenever they bloom, peach blossoms are insanely beautiful. I was looking forward to the peaches, but totally forgot about having such nice color in the Spring…err, Winter.
