“We have peaches,” owners Joey and Lou Jamison say of their orchard which was blitzed by 31 degree temperatures a week ago.

The Jamisons said they were “optimistic” because of the growth already shown by the peaches which survived the late- season freeze of early April.
So optimistic that they plan to buy fertilizer for the trees this year.
