Peachez.

My mom loves to garden. She grows a variety of vegetables each spring and looks forward to eating them in the summer and fall. Her problem is that she doesn't like to use insect sprays. As a result, some of her plants get eaten.

Last year, we planted strawberries. We didn't expect them to bear fruit this year, but they did. My mom was super excited to pick her first strawberry.


Whenever she went to pick one, it was gone.


Eventually, we found out that squirrels had been eating them.

This year, we have an even bigger problem. My mom planted a peach tree years ago that never flowered or bore fruit.

This year, it's doing both. She was super duper excited.

Problem: some sort of bug is eating the peaches.
Evidence: Little holes are in the golfball-sized peaches and the juice is flowing out and crystallizing.

Question: WTH EATS PEACHES? Google doesn't help me at all.


If you have a solution to this, please leave a comment!
