Peaches are downright scarce this year. .Most orchards produced ■ either a small crop or none at all.
When asked how the peach crop was at Mountain Green Farm this season, Rose Ann Sharp responded, “We had 10 peaches.” And she was not talking about 10 bushels of peaches; just 10 peaches.
Most of the peach growers also have apple orchards, which are expected to produce a much larger crop. Mr. Tom Lee of Lee’s Orchards reported that he has very few • peaches left, but does have Rambo . apples for sale now. His apples can be purchased at Lee’s Orchard on Fodderstack Road until Labor Day. After that date, the family moves the apples down to their stand on U.S. 522 near Massie’s Comer.
Louis Moore, Sr. of Moore’s Orchards also reports a poor peach crop, but their first apples of the season are expected to be ready for sale around Aug. 20.
Libby Whetzel may have one of the largest crops of peaches this year. Her pick-your-own business is located on U.S. 211, about one half mile east of Washington, on the north side. Right now she has Belle of Georgia peaches, which are white; Albertas will be available soon. "t
