“Eastern peaches” (from GA or SC) are absolutely scrumptious right now!! Stores advertise them as “tree ripened”, but they’re hard as can be for a couple of days. Then they ARE like tree ripened and fantastic! (NOT California peaches; those turn to mush when they ripen at home, for some reason.)
They are juicy, sweet, and incredible right now!!!
Just saying…

IMO, the store peaches are not like tree ripened after a few days. In the past 30 years, I have not bought a store peach after eating a locally grown peach directly from the farmer.

No question. True, tree-ripened anything is best! But we have no local peaches hereabouts, so these are a good second.

I just picked up 10 seedling from a local lady in mass. her trees produce for over 30 years. so I am planting them around the farm and hoping they are good ones.

My last trip to the grocery had strawberries going for $0.99 a quart - in the upstate of SC.
The peaches are just coming into season for the farm markets and shift up the coast to
Maryland and Pennsylvania by mid-July.
