i'd kill for a peach they way peaches are supposed to be.
here's our version of the georgia peach in the produce department:
rock hard. solid as a rock.
ice cold.
knock on it, it sounds hollow as hell.
buy it, it never ripens just gets mushy and insides are dry as dust.
i forget what real fruit tastes like. juicy peaches??? huh?
somebody remind me of what a blueberry tastes like.
and tell me about strawberries that are NOT all white inside 
i swear, i am going to take this pound of gushy tasteless bing cherries back to that store and plant them inside that produce manager.
i have a watermelon sitting here, guess i'll wait to cut it so i can take it back and "gallagher" it over his head 
/sorry to rant in your beautiful peach thread MB.

That describes winter peaches 'round here. Through the summer we get tree ripened Ontario peaches that are heavenly!
Summer fruit rocks.
Winter fruit is best from the can.

I never knew Peaches was 'ripe'. Pity she couldn't keep herself odor-free.

A very short excerpt from a famous poem. (Line 120)
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
T.S. Eliot (1888–1965)
I grow old … I grow old …
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.

Are you related to my ex husband?
The Porter peaches are in season here. I'll be heading the orchard soon for one or two. I'm not a big peach fan. Sorry.

Not really... (to both questions). You could smack him for me. He deserves it. Otherwise you can consider yourself lucky to have been even associated with me all those y ears.

RR... we went picking last weekend and they were perfection. Red, all the way through. You put them in your mouth and there's nothing to chew. I kid you not, they melt in your mouth, 99% liquid, bursting. Ripened in the field to a peak. With five pickers, we got four flats filled in about 30-min. A dozen quarts of homemade jam, no Smuckers sludge for awhile, and an afternoon of red stained drippy chins and strawberry smell permeating the house. Yeah... that's what it's suppose to be like.
I'll tell ya about the blueberries next week.
