Nice nice, love me some peach season too, all I know is here in Qc they are starting to hoc some sad looking Ontario peaches. Still too early, but can’t wait. Usually mid to late August is the time
A perfectly ripe peach is the essence of summer.

Blow up yer TV, throw away yer paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try to find Jesus on yer own
Yum.... big bowl of shredded wheat, sliced peaches drizzled with farm fresh honey and whole milk. Sooooooooo good!
Cannot believe no one has said:
Really love your peaches wanna shake your tree

Yakima peaches just showed up at our vegetable stand in Sisters.
Could have used a few more days on the tree, but a couple of days in the pantry will help.
Peaches and Herb - two things that go well together...on more than one level
Grilled peaches with good vanilla ice cream on top and then drizzled with PX sherry is not to be missed. Outside of peach season, ice cream with px sherry is still pretty great.
You fools really pay $15 for a box of 15?
I should rent a truck and drive some out from the East Coast.
Go back and look at those pictures. Didja notice how big and unblemished that box of 15 is? You can get a full box for $25 if you want smaller with some man handling. Your choice. Also you're not going to find the Canadian Harmony peach in any grocery store.Quote:

Don't know where the crap at the stores usually come from, but ain't no comparison to straight from the source.
Mmmm... Palisade peaches are just starting to go off here. Combined with Olathe sweet corn it's hard to beat August in these parts.
My preferred poison is a bowl of sliced peaches with heavy whipping cream poured over.
What I would give for a home made cherry or peach pie. O and don't forget Blueberry!Quote:

Oh the memories......Quote:

KQ, we must come from a similar place and time. I remember my mom and aunt having huge flats of every fruit known to Canada in the house. Thye would can them, freeze them and OMG, the pies my aunt could make. To this day I always tell her she is my favorite aunt just because of what a fantastic cook she was. Great memories for sure and a lost art I will never see again. :(Quote:
