The ups and downs of farming

Well, I went out to get the newspaper sunday morning and saw that one of the main branches of the peach tree had broken and I lost about 1/3 of my peaches. Such is life I guess. The silverlining of this is the branch was about 3-4 in in dia at the break so I have some peach wood to turn. Also saw my first squirrel damage so tonight I will be 'netting' the tree.
Crickets have invaded and a few grasshoppers are eating the corn. The tomatoes are finishing up as well. The peppers, cucumbers and basil are still doing well so there is hope.
