I've been enjoying the lovely bouquet of roses from Palatine all week! It's been a pleasure too look and and the fragrance is divine!
Here is a note about the peaches and other fruits and roses that we get from Palatine:
For Friday we have HARSON PEACHES, SHIRO PLUMS AND ROSES.
The Shiro plum has a mild flavour that is pleasently sweet and juicy! It is round yellow plum usually medium in size. Due to the harsh weather this year, their size is a bit smaller than the early golden plums.
This week kicks off the start of the freestone peaches! All the peaches we have from here on in are great for eating, cooking, canning and dehydrating!
The first of the freestone peaches we have is the Harson! Many of you will remeber from last year how amazing the taste and bouquet was of the Harson peach. It got rave reviews from you! The Harson peach is a sweet, firm, medium to large size freestone peach that was bred at the Harrow Station here in Canada. It is considered to the the Canadian Red Haven! Ever since the Red Havens were discovered back in the 30's in the United States, research stations have been trying to imitate, duplicate are create trees like the Red Haven that will survive in different climates. This is one of the varieties Agriculture Canada has developed....but of course, they cannot call it Red Haven.
Just a reminder - All the fruit we get from Eva and Rene are 'tree run'. We do this to avoid the sorting station that insists on fungicidal baths, fuzz removal (peaches) and paraffin wax coatings!. This means some fruit will be larger and some smaller, some more ripe and some less ripe all in the same box. Eva and Rene let our fruit ripen on the tree much longer than if they were to pick it for the shippers! The shippers want green fruit and we want tree ripened fruit!!
Eva and Rene grow both the traditional tea roses and antique roses! The Antique rose is a little different looking then the traditional Tea Rose we are accustomed to. The Antique rose is meant to have a large center rose that opens accompanied by several side buds which may or may not open. This offers lovely contrast for bouquets! Most of the antique roses have a lovely fragrance.
Enjoy the rain!
