My son called me when I was on my way home today and asked it I wanted some peaches. I said sure. So I met him and I got peaches. Tons of peaches. So in between answering my notifications I have been working with peaches. I don't think I want anymore until next year. I froze some and canned some. I know that they have been putting up a lot of peaches too. He gets them for free so I can't see passing them up. Would anyone like some peaches? I wish that I could send them to everyone.

I love peaches, with a lot of peaches I would surely prepare peach chutney, peach crumble, peach pie and I would froze some for the winter.

Those all sound so good. If I hadn't of been busy yesterday and if I had gotten the peaches earlier I might of made a pie.

They are good for tarts and cake decorations don't they...My family likes peaches in general, I can't eat too much however. (I am allergic to stone fruits!)

They can be used in so many ways. If I don't quit munching on them I will turn into a peach. I am sorry that you are allergic to them.

@velvet53 I often eat them then take an antihistamine tablet when the rash appears.

My nephew let us pick a bunch and as luck would have it, most have spoiled before I could get to them. Wish I had more time to devote to such things. Love peaches, they are one of my favorite fruits.

@sumofalltears I'm sorry to hear that but you do know what you can and can't eat. That is what is important.

@youless That is what my son did with the rest that he had. The little town I live in is quite well known for their peaches. So it seems like everyone here has their share of them.

He is able to pick them where he is working. I hope he doesn't send anymore my way.

@lovinangelsinstead21 We have Palisade peaches here. They are grown right here in the valley. Some of them can get pretty big and they are very tasty. I tried a different type of peach the other day and I didn't like it.

Peaches were not as plentiful here this year as they sometimes are, but we have had a few that were definitely worth canning @velvet53

I live in a small town that is popular for their peaches. My son works where they can have all the peaches that they want. I would love to be able to send peaches to people but we know that they wouldn't be any good upon arrival.

@Courtlynn They are finally done. I wonder what will be next. My son knows that I like to put up fresh vegetables and fruit so he always checks with me before he gives them to anyone else. We all like peaches so I figured I would just take care of them.

We have one lonely peach tree. One year we got four peaches on it, but I must say they were delicious. Last year it got some kind of disease and had to be cut back. So far, no peaches.

I sure hope that it comes back big and strong for you. I had to laugh at my son when he was able to pick the first peach from his tree. He bit into it and his eyes lit up.

I felt the same way last November when our two avocado trees kept on bearing - and our neighbors on both sides have trees as well.
