(757 posts)peaches is that there is a small window of time in which they become ripe and the great number of them there on the tree.
This year was a very abundant year which was great. Our normal practice developed over the years was to distribute flats of them to our pub friends, the people we trade with, the class my wife teaches and the pot store. This year there was Covid in the house (although not me even though I am the eldest at 79.) which limited travel. Fortune was kind though and smiled. A young couple who live next door are expecting and the mom to be developed a craving for them (home peaches seem much jucier and more flavorful than store bought). I picked as many as I could for her as carefully as I could (gloves, masks etc). It feels good to give someone a beautiful and perfect and pleasure-filled bit of nature.
