- Yes, we are growing peaches in Wisconsin. Two of our Elberta free-stone peach trees are ready for picking. It’s funny because all 5 baby peach trees sprouted from dormant seeds from our two original Elberta peach trees long gone. Three years ago we transplanted these baby trees to our orchard area and this year they are bountiful. Another Elberta peach tree we purchased from fast-growing-trees have peach that are still green and probably won’t be ready for at least another 2-3 weeks. In the meantime, we thought you’d like to see the harvest we gathered yesterday before the major heatwave of 115 degrees hit the Midwest today.
So happy to read that the only reason we haven't seen you two it because you are busy with new projects...I was beginning to worry about you. Stay healthy and happy, but i do miss your videos.
Thank you, moringloryke, you are very kind to have been worrying about us. Richard has so much he wants to do, but we still love hearing from our viewers who have been so supportive for all these years and videos.
We still like to hear what's going on with other gardeners, so please stay in touch,

May u be always fruitful ❤
Yes, you are just so encouraging and positive with this comment. Thank you so much and may your garden be fruitful as well. Lynn & Richard www.WisconsinGarden.com 🌺
@@WisconsinGardenMay I ask u a question? Why my tomatoes r still green , what did I do wrong guys ?I am on zone 5 too and I did plant them on Memorial Day 🥹
@@fotyfar Hi again. Many of my big tomatoes are still green as well. When we do everything we can and feel we have done it all right, and it doesn't work...we just blame it on the weather. LOL I hope your and our tomatoes ripen before it freezes. Take care and don't give up hope, we haven't. Lynn & Richard www.WisconsinGarden.com

Peaches can take the cold and the heat they r so amazing. I live in MN zone4 but i will one day grow alberta peach i know it wont die but it may not properly fruit well. Yes i have several zone5 fruit trees and they have fully survive and fruits well. My dad has been growing nectarines for yrs they dont die but just dont fruit well.
Hi Julio, so much depends on when that last hard frost comes. Some years it is so late that no fruit is set even if we had some blooms. We are hoping that our warmer than usual spring will stay above freezing so we get apples and peaches this year. Hope the same for you. Our neighbor grows apricots and they have had booming crops in the past and are hoping it's the same this year as they are nice enough to share with us.
Take care and please keep in touch. Lynn & Richard
Love that you can grow peaches in our planting zone.
Hello Barbara, we were surprised we could grow peaches her too. They are just so delicious and we can just go out and pick them and eat them right away know where they came from.
Thank you for watching, caring and sharing. Keep the love growing. Lynn & Richard www.WisconsinGarden.com
Beautiful peaches! I can almost smell them. The trees look very healthy.
Hi Dee, the do smell very delicious. The trees are doing well. We had to put braces under the branches on the big one with the unripened fruit on it.
I'm making jam with these first ones.
Thank you so much for watching, caring and sharing. Keep The Love Growing - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Hello Lynn and Richard don't see much videos any more. Hope you both are OK. Bit worried. ❤❤
Hi Nathan, we are good, don't worry, but thanks for thinking of us. Last fall, Richard started researching AI Art Generators and hasn't stopped yet. He is fascinated and learning so much, that he has no time to do garden videos. LOL
We are doing an educational class in the fall regarding the good things about AI, so while I am still gardening, he is learning and playing with Art.
We appreciate that you checked up on us. Gardeners are such wonderful friends who really care.
If you'd like to see some of Richard's latest fun you could visit his art website at www.Art262.com
Thank you again. Lynn & Richard www.WisconsinGarden.com
Wow that's good
Hello @life_with_ty12 We are glad you enjoyed our video on peaches. We have had great results with the Elberta peaches for years and will give the Pink Lady peach tree another try this year.
Since we have had such warm weather lately, the trees are about to bloom. Hope we don't get hit with a sudden freeze.
Thank you for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard www.Wisconsin.com
My mouth is watering and I love peaches any way possible
Hi Morningfloryke, they are indeed mouth watering worthy. :)
Thank you so much for watching, caring and sharing. Keep The Love Growing - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
Looking forward to your next 2024 garden post! ❤
Hoping all is well.
Hello! Thank you for your comment. Richard has been busy all winter and now spring working on a new art project and the class he will be teaching this summer. He has not had the time for garden videos, but who knows? That time may come this summer. :)
Lynn & Richard www.WisconsinGarden.com
@@WisconsinGardenNo 😱 .. no more videos? You can do it yourself Lynn.
@@mayshirazi8564 Awwww, unfortunately, I am not that talented to put together a Wisconsin Garden video. It's not just the filming, but also all the technical work demanded by CZcams.
Hopefully, we may post a couple just to stay in touch with all our wonderful viewers and to show something different that we have done in the garden.
Thank you so much for your support and enthusiasm. 🥰🌺Lynn & Richard
Hello Lynn and Richard…..I hope everything is fine. I haven’t seen a new video from you guys. Can’t wait to see your next video. Is the pond ready for the 2024 growing season? Best Wishes! Mike
Hi Mike, Richard has been totally involved with his new art project, so we haven't done any videos in a long while.
Yes, the pond is running smoothly already. Our large goldfish survived the winter and somehow a school of small black minnows have joined them???
Have slowly started planting things outside, just can't trust this Wisconsin weather just yet.
Hope you are getting ready as well.
Thank you for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard

You’re in for a lot of work with all of those beautiful peaches. Maybe you can show us how you. Are jam?
You are right! Lots of work especially with this first batch and the hot weather that ripened them overnight. Yes, jam with these first ones. Richard wanted to do a video, but we ran out of time to get them done before they spoiled. Thank you so much for watching, caring and sharing.

I wish I could have one of those peaches. It's been so long i don't have a really sweet peach. Hugs to you both.
Hi AnaMaria, I wish we could have sent you some. The peaches we got off our 'baby' peach trees this year were wonderful and we enjoyed them, and we made lots of jam from them as well as eating them before they even got in the house.

@@WisconsinGarden Nice, love peach jam. just to say... I'm going to Connecticut this weekend to visit my daughter. (I live in Montreal) Maybe one day I will be able to visit you. 🙏 Hugs 🤗
Hope you do stop over some time. Hugs to you too. @@AnaMaria-eh7tp
Everything ok there? We miss your videos!
Greetings, Icebrg313,
Yes, we are fine. Richard has spent most of his time on his latest project creating art with words. You can see some of them at www.Art262.com Hope you enjoy them.
We will continue with our garden videos as it gets warmer, but for now - while it's frigid and snowy, we will be staying indoors.
Thank you for checking up with us. We have learned long ago that gardeners are wonderful, caring people. We appreciate your concern.
Hope you and your family are well and safe. Thank you for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard www.WisconsinGarden.com
2 video posts in a week! How awesome is that!!!
Hi Scott, lol. Had to get the peaches off the tree before the intense heat hit and they fell off by themselves and the critters got their teeth into them.
Thanks for your support and comments. Love it. Lynn & Richard
You're so lucky to have wonderful peaches!
Yes, Jackie, we are blessed in so many ways. Thank you for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
We grow a lot of peaches here in Arkansas. I love you videos ! ❤❤❤
Hi Rod, we were surprised we could grow them here, but we have come to growing, eating, making jam and freezing them now. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Keep the love growing. Lynn & Richard www.WisconsinGarden.com
I just watched and older video of you and your daughter making peach jam. Will there be any new peach videos coming up soon? Those re nice looking peaches!
Hi George, it looks like we will have more peaches than we can eat right now, so yes we will be making jam, canning and freezing. Making a video involves Richard's time to do it, lol as videography is not something I know how to do. Hopefully, we will get one done. Thank you for watching and asking about new videos. You are a very sweet person to care about what we do.
Thank you so much. Keep The Love Growing - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
You can sell them for a pretty penny. I just bought peaches at Sentry in Delafield. The bin was labeled as "Southern Peaches" and they were quite pricey. I assumed I was getting Georgia peaches. When I checked out, they rang up as "Peaches-Illinois"! Well, I guess technically Illinois peaches are "Southern" for us in Wisconsin. 🍑
Thank you for the video.
Hi Connie, interesting... these Elberta peaches are the original Georgia peaches, so maybe that's what they were referring to, but I like your explanation better. LOL
Thank you so much for watching, caring and sharing. Keep The Love Growing - Lynn & Richard - www.WisconsinGarden.com
OMG! what a lot of peaches!
Hi Thelma, yes, we are up to our mouths in their goodness. :)

Beautiful ❤️ My Saturn peaches had a lot of brown rot 😔 My Georgia peaches are growing except the Squirrels are enjoying them .I pray they leave me a few the tree is 5 years old this is by best year so far. I noticed you have no Asian fruit fly damage.❤
Hi 1 phloxy, I think brown rot must be what some of ours have....wrinkly brown patches? I'm glad we don't have the fly your referred to. Never know there was such a thing. Thanks for the info..

It’s sad I can’t get them to grow here and I’m only 2 miles from where I grew a beautiful peach tree.😢. I tried again this year, but the bare root that Jungs sent had some weird small root stock, I knew it wouldn’t survive right away. In 2008 at our previous house we bought one direct at Jung’s home office and it produced in that same year!
The 3 rd time I tried 2017 here I bought one for my folks nearby and that one took off and was loaded, but my mom passed away and I was too busy to harvest and either the neighbor (somebody)or squirrels took them all.
I sure miss my peach tree. I just can’t figure out why they don’t grow here. I think it’s too hot and dry.
Today we hit 109*F despite what Madison reports. If this keeps up I’m moving. WI, Z5a.
We'd love to have you as a new neighbor. :) Maybe if you can get to a nearby garden center, check to see if they have a peach tree in stock. At least then you can tell if it's happy right away.
We know what you're saying about the heat...Just WAY too hot for us. Just Florida weather for sure. Hang in there, summer will be gone soon.

@@WisconsinGarden thank you! Would love having you two as neighbors ! I follow Mitza Creek Farms to keep a check on Hayward weather. She has a pumpkin/mum/Christmas tree farm. She said they all seem to be getting ready for fall early. It’s probably because they’ve had it with this growing season. Susan’s In The Garden in WA state was in MN a few weeks ago and all her pics looked like they had plenty of rain as everything was so green. Not in my garden, it’s just desert like. I would like a cooler location as just NW of Madison I’m in some type of extreme microclimate garden hell 😵💫. I’ve learned to grow most plants here and I think I’ve past the master gardener program.😂😂. It’s tough.

Haha, you've got peaches coming out of your ears. Peaches are such a summer favourite. They're beautiful on trees too. By the way, how did your kiwi vine do? There's this guy Rick Larson from Wisconsin too who has one as well, and it's been fruiting for years.
Hi Mary, thanks for noticing our cute and happy trees. Our kiwi vine is going crazy! It's like a creature reaching out to catch anything near it. NO buds or flowers or fruit tho. I'm wondering if we should have kept it more under control so it would get to work on producing fruit instead of long arms. Thank you so much for watching, caring and sharing.

Hello Lynn and Richard, We were away in Spain and Portugal, and I missed a few videos. Catching up, it was interesting to know more about Peach. Have a question. My Cosmos is five feet tall, not flowering. Any ideas to make it flower before fall. Thanks. Take care,see you guys soon. Nathan from Canda.
Hi again, Nathan, hmmm. Research says they either have too much shade, too much water or the soil is too rich. Cosmos need at least 12 hours of darkness to flower too, so maybe as the days get shorter they will surprise you. Lynn & Richard
Oh my goodness!❤ do you cut back hard on the trees so they stay small? The peaches look great!
Hi Carlolyn, yes we do cut them back in late winter, early spring. The one we were picking on is still a young tree that we trimmed, but not quite enough. We'll take a bit more off this year to keep it from getting too much taller and wider.

So u had 2 seed itsself? I have a few peach trees now and one has peaches and woundering if i can just plant from seed or do they have to be grafted to a plum in western wi? Thinking of trying a peach from the farmers market peaches i bought
Hi Casey, Yes, we had two Elberta peach trees. For years they gave us many peaches and eventually they ran their course and we cut them down. Every fall we would gather up any fruit that was on the ground to prevent any diseases.
4 or 5 years later, we had baby peach trees growing where the old trees had been. It took that long for the peach seeds that we missed to escape from the outer seed shell and germinate to grow new trees.
We transplanted those seeds and the trees are now giving us wonderful peaches.
If a person cracked open the outer shell and took out the inner seed, I believe it wouldn't take 4 years to grow into a new tree. It would be worth a try to see if it would work for you. Make sure the peaches you use for seed are trees that live in your growing zone. We are in Zone 5b.
Good luck and please let us know what happens.
