Lots of fruiting happening here, so have been making loads of peach iced tea with any fruit that fail the ugly test. No idea what I've been doing all my life without it. Easy, smells delicious when making the syrup. 3 peaches and a handful of old strawberries made about 2 gallons yesterday. Quite a lot of sugar which I'll experiment with replacing but poured over ice it's a dream. Not sure how long it'd keep either so I'll look into somehow freezing the syrup into portions or something. Ooh, fermenting could be fun. Like kombucha or something.
Got to buy a field and get an orchard going. That's my retirement plan. How long would it take to go from saplings to 20ft trees? 10-20 years? I know you can speed it up with scions (though not really sure what the process is).
