Peach of a crop for former lorry driver

RETIRED Dairygold lorry driver Mike Condon believes he has tasted success of a unique kind in his garden.

He has produced the only peach crop in the country this year, having taken measures to protect his tree from the rain and painting pollen on the peach flowers.

Mike, from Pallasgreen, Co Limerick, said: “I have made a lot of enquiries to see if I am the only one with a crop and from responses around the country, I believe I am.
