Late Breaking News

This just in: The extreme Texas heat resulting in seemingly endless days of 100 degree plus temperatures has resulted in what can only be described as a freak of nature.


A once vigorous though non-producing Peach tree has apparently sprouted a crop of hand dyed and patterned pillow covers.


Stat tuned for further details as they become available.

What kind of fertilizer do you use? I never get anything so beautiful from my peach trees, not that a sweet juicy peach isn't beautiful.
