      HEY Hope!!! Thanks for the advice. I will definitely keep an eye out for them and use your tip if I see them.

      Don’t feed and water the pests, unless you want more pests! This is a universal truth.

    It's good to see a man enjoying the fruits of his labour.Im In tropical north Australia, and i net the tree as soon as the fruit is set. Otherwise, i would lose all the fruit to fruit fly.

      HEY, Steve!!! You are right. I will be watching next season time I start seeing them form, and I will be baking them for sure. I did not know I had peaches on the tree until weeks into the spring.

    I purchased a 5 pound bag for $11 because I didn't want a 50 pound bag. I just got it in last week tho and yet to put it out. Kinda been watching the weather. The rain has been coming and going. All though my peach tree is very young I do plan on using the clay on it. Tfs

      HEY Gardening_today!!! Cool. How old is your tree? I planted that tree in 2021. It has turned into a giant. I used the chilly dog method yesterday so hopefully, in 30 days I have more trees.

      @@GrowSomethingTasty I purchased the tree last year and finally put it into the ground this year. It's a very young tree. I didn't buy it from a big box store. It was from a local farmer that sells to the big box stores.

      @@GrowSomethingTasty right!! Quick question! I have watermelons growing. Do you recommend covering those or I don’t have to worry about pests so much? They are hanging so not on the ground

    • @GrowSomethingTasty
      @GrowSomethingTasty  4 місяці тому

      @TheDreamHaven I don't cover them. I just let them go. Now I know competitive growers cover their melons because they are so big. If I get one over 100 pounds, I will cover it like them. I am in a competition but these voles are killing me. I would not worry about unless you see something going on that troubling.

      HEY, blknblue77!!! It is a Baby Crawford Peach. I had to go check the tag. I planted that tree in 2021 and it has grown into a monster. Yesterday I performed surgery on the tree using the chilly dog method to make more trees. I videoed it and will release it next week or the week after.

    Don't the bags block the clay from coating the fruit?

      @GrowSomethingTasty  4 дні тому

      HEY John!!! Yes, if I get the bags on them early, I won't spray them with the clay. Those bags are the truth, they work. When I run out of bags I will use the clay. I was giving two options for saving the fruit.

    We have a peach that make a lot of fruit. How many peaches can be on a branch. Seems like they not making it to maturity.

    • @GrowSomethingTasty
      @GrowSomethingTasty  4 місяці тому

      HEY, Kblackfoxx!!! It's not a number I can give you, but you have to be careful because branches could break. Your peaches are not making it to maturity because you need to thin them. If you don't take some off, they will never get big. It's hard to do but you have to.

    Hi, do you remove the bags every time you reapply the clay?

    • @GrowSomethingTasty
      @GrowSomethingTasty  27 днів тому

      HEY Talyor!!! No, if I got the bags on before the bugs come, that will keep them out. Some of them i sprayed, and then my bags came, so I covered them. Both techniques are great. I just ordered 200 more bags, so I will be ready next season.

    I don’t have any PEACHES ON MY TREE THIS YEAR.. IT HAS PRODUCED WONDERFULLY PAST 3 years… anyone know why it might not be producing ?

    • @GrowSomethingTasty
      @GrowSomethingTasty  2 місяці тому +1

      HEY @GameOver!!! It could be a few things. If you had a frost during the spring that could have damaged the blossoms. I read that over-fertilizing could have that effect. Over-pruning or pruning the wrong way could have an effect on the fruit production. Is there a disease on the plant that stops the fruit from growing? I am new to getting fruit from my fruit trees, they just started fruiting this year. I'm learning as I go so I don't know if this was helpful.
