GROWING PEACHES IN A POT - on the porch



Ever dreamed of growing your own fresh peaches in a pot? Now you can, on the porch!


This year we grew peaches right beside our patio table. Growing peach trees in a pot was easier than we thought. Other than watering every day to ensure the plant didn't dry, we kept the tree placed where it got plenty of sunshine at least 6 hours a day. To make the tree easier to move, I had placed my pot on rollers.



With the tree in close proximity, we could daily watch the fruit bloom and ripen.


Best of all, we were able to enjoy the fruits of our labor!



What was most surprising of all was HOW EASY it was to grow! Now we're planning a larger orchard on our porch! Some ideas: Lemon trees, Avocado, olives...


I found a helpful website on growing fruit trees here at Just Peachy!
