How bout them peaches!

Took a couple pics of our full peach trees!! They are about ready to pic in a couple days. Thought they were ready by looking at them. But they are hard yet . So give them a couple more days to ripen up and I'll be busy putting them up for the freezer!! Along with the abundance of zuchini, yellow squash and I'll be making freezer slaw and freezer pickles too!

This is the Alberta which is a golden yellow peach Like your most used to seeing.



And this is a Georgia White, its more white than yellow but still has some yellow to it.

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy! You have a job ahead of you! Having preserved my peaches in one way or another, and from ONE tree, I don't envy you one bit!

I've still got quite a few in the freezer to make cobbler with, plus two quarts of jam!

I'd rather can, myself, but have fun freezing!

You puttin' up any pickles? My bread and butter ones turned out YUUUUUM!

We're in the process of planning our winter garden. Can't wait!

shall we send our address for samples? lol they are beautiful

Oh, man, your own tree! I still remember 1963ish when I was in 7th-8th grade in Southern California and went to summer school and there was a yard with an apricot tree overhanging its fence and I use to steal fresh apricots. I fell in love and have been searching for apricots that tasted like that since (and never found them).

oohhhhh those peaches look sooooo yummy. mouth is watering just thinking of biting into a fresh peach. you are sooooo lucky to have those peach trees.......might have to nudge my son and talk him into planting a few peach trees in his back yard. oo maybe an apple tree too.
just remembered he has a plum tree. have to ask him to bring me some.

OH those look heavenly! There is nothing better than a juicy tree-ripened peach!! I am salivating

Yummy!!!!

Well.. they are gonna get picked tomorrow night!! I got all weekend to work on them and the other stuff this way. I might not be able to type with all this handwork lol.

THanks everyone for your compliments and comments!!! After not having any last year.. I'm delirously happy to have some this year. And totally amazed that with the drought we are having right now that they are the nice size they are too! Most of them are a good handful!! I told hubby no cooking tomorrow night. Its pizza night!! LOL

It should be against the law to show great peaches on the tree without giving out free samples.

They look absolutely delicious!

HAHAHA Kebs!! You gave me a good giggle there! To tantalize you guys more.. here are a couple more pics for ya to drool over lol. They are all now picked and ready to be put up. mmmm.. I've already made some Peach cobbler today... nice and warm with vanilla ice cream.. Can you say YUMMMMM!??! LOL

the left 2/3 of the table are the Georgia Whites and the right 1/3 and the other partially full table are the Alberta's. And then the last picture is the biggest peach in the bunch.. and believe me there were alot of peaches that ran close too!

Oh Wow! They look delicious. It's the first time I see a peach tree, they sure don't grow here in Quebec Ca. A fresh peach must be soooooooooooo yummy! You are a really good gardener.

Oh Wow - I've never seen a peach tree before. I love peaches - they must be awesome just picked and freshly rippenned. Good luck with all your preserving. I have very fond memories from childhood helping my Mom, make jams, pickles, canned preserves, and freazing stuff every summer / fall.

you still didnt answer my question about the samples? lol

Thanks everyone.. I will be very busy putting them up tomorrow. Me wittle fingers will be soo tired slicing all them lol. I told hubby yesterday, wherever we may move to, we are planting peach trees. Gotta have my peach trees lol.

Ohh Hurtin, lol.. if you wanna drive up here and get some samples , you can have some lol.

move to tn and plant some new trees...the house beside me is up for sale ...lmao

<font color="purple"> You know, this reminds me of the time when mom and I discovered that our neighbords apple tree didn't grow crab apples, but they were actualy just small- but tasty! apples. We were going to go by his/her house sometime and ask if we could snag their apples otherwise they'd just waste away like they have every other year before we have an apple tree at dad's house, but he insists they are crab apples, considering he's lived here his entire life...I take his word for it. But it's amazing around here how much berries and apples and such just grow wild around here! </font>

mmmmm!!! those look absolutely delicious!

edit to add that i'm about to run to the kitchen to grab myself a peach!

I can smell those peaches. I want one. lol Bet your house smells wonderful.......

I've got 39 quarts of peaches frozen now... got more to do as soon as they ripen up more.. HELP!!! LOL
