Add Red Baron to that list. NOt only extremely beautiful double blooms,
but also delicious fruit.

Hmmm, how early and how many chill hours? Dixieland is 400 chill hours. I
don't know that we got that this year, but one would hope.

We are going to try using a motion detector-activated sprinkler head to
keep the critters away. Last year they ate 2/3 of the crop. They're my
peaches!

Fortunately, I am not inundated. We have one female squirrel who nests in the
live oak. She's here all the time. I feed her corn and whatever else she
wants. I can handle one. If there were more than that, it would be some kind
of war! MY PEACHES MINE! But, with only the two of us, we had a bushel of
peaches from one tree...and I'm the only one in the house of 2 who eats them.
