If you’re super impatient, buy a sapling from a nursery. But where’s the fun in that? Growing from a pit is like being a wizard.
Protect your tree from squirrels and birds once fruit starts forming. Those little monsters will steal your peaches faster than I steal snacks from the pantry. Use netting or a crafty scarecrow (a fake owl works).
Also, keep an eye out for leaf curl, a common peach disease. A simple copper spray in early spring can prevent it. Don’t panic—just be a little vigilant, like a plant parent who checks their kid’s temperature at 2 a.m.
