That's great.  I got one lousy wrinkly peach from my tree.

Very nice.  Now you can have some peach cobbler.

Dad had 3 peachtrees out in the garden.  Mom would save her butter tubs and because the peaches were so plentiful, she would peel and slice them and freeze them in the butter tubs. 

That was a catalyst for my daughter and dad bonding so heavily.  Melissa would sit in dad's lap on the front porch and they would eat peaches together.  Something she still fondly remembers to this day.  She says they bent a lot of grandma's spoons trying to dig the frozen peaches out.

I don't recall ever eating frozen peaches.  I usually pick the peaches ripe, and eat them all right away.  They go bad in a day or 2.  Once, I brought 3 of those large baskets of peaches back to the house.  2 days later, all gone.

The logo with the real peaches would be very hard to incorporate into our RFTH Tshirt designs.  Or to put it on the front chest of a shirt. 

GTRS, if you want peaches that will last, get yellow peaches.  They are more firm and if put in your refrigerator crisper you can keep them for several weeks.  Peeling, slicing and freezing them makes a great treat.  You can thaw them in a bowl, cover them with sugar and they will make a deliciously sweet syrup to snack on, have as a dessert dish, or lavish over a slice of pound cake.

Yellow peaches?  We had whatever was on the trees, like those pictured.  Very tasty.  Blackberries and peaches vanish, around here.

As far as I know there are only two types peaches.   Freestone and cling.  The fruit easily separates from the freestone seed but leaves the cling seed coated with bits of fruit.  There is a large variety in each type  with yellow peaches being freestone.  The canned peaches from the store are often yellow peaches.

Actually, there are several varieties of peaches, just like apples. One of my favorites is the Red Haven peach. When they are ripe, the look more like apples than peaches on the tree. I'm going to have to find a seed or sapling and grow one, because I haven't seen any of those around here.

Melanie took a series of pictures.  I just looked at them and none of the others had that spot.  Don't know what caused it.  Or are you talking about that big huge white spot in the background?  :)

We have Red Haven peaches here.  Dunno if the seeds are viable.
