This will be the third year in a row that I've canned them. :) We have two of our own little peach trees but, like yours, they haven't given us much yet. One had 2 peaches growing this year. I was watching them grow and waiting eagerly to eat them... then my husband said, "Did you leave some fruit in the yard?" as he picked up a peach pit that the dog had left!! So now I'm watching my one lone peach!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-89629135529511898842010-08-09T18:55:12.207-04:002010-08-09T18:55:12.207-04:00OH my goodness do I LOVE peach pie...I need to wip...OH my goodness do I LOVE peach pie...I need to wipe the drool off the keyboard now.

Another month or maybe just a couple of weeks things should be easier as both my kids will be off for college.Daphne Gouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17305049560953735881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-7718837100061359312010-08-08T14:53:43.780-04:002010-08-08T14:53:43.780-04:00Meemsnyc, thanks, they will be wonderful this wint...Meemsnyc, thanks, they will be wonderful this winter.<br /><br />Farmwifetwo, I've always done them this way and wondered why they floated like that.

It's just the way they do it here, and when I did water process the tomatoes once.... I heard about it all winter from the dh. All depends on what you grow up with, eh??<br /><br />I too am off to the fruit farm on Mon... unless something's really wrong with my van... the appts for Wed... Need cucs, mine are up about 6" now - replants - but it'll be a long time before they are ready. Cling-stone peaches are out here, I'll wait for the Red Haven's before fresh eating, and maybe canning. This year I can do more - my runner (autistic) is slowing down... atleast I can pull weeds and expect him to stay in the playground (old 3 acre sheep yard) and not vanish... good thing he's nearly to my shoulder and nearly 9 - but I still don't have as much time as I'd like to do it all.farmwifetwohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680758336779501712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-11128721993379565442010-08-08T13:54:15.917-04:002010-08-08T13:54:15.917-04:00OH my, delicious!

They grow most everything I want around here. Apples are our favorite.<br /><br />Annette, thanks so much. My mother is the best pie maker out there, so I can't even hold a candle, but they taste good! I can't wait until my fruit trees are in full swing. It will be a few years yet.The Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15070310346205563561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4987757052468794779.post-42637684618372182602010-08-08T13:03:16.113-04:002010-08-08T13:03:16.113-04:00Heather you make the loveliest pies!

UPicks and local farms are a nice option but just not the same.

I usually buy my peaches from a produce stand in central Washington that stocks from Wenatchee and Yakima growers. I am not making an August trip to see my mom though so I am probably going to miss the peach season this year - but when I go back in September I should catch the beginnings of the apple harvest and the pears.kitsapFGhttp://www.modernvictorygarden.com/apps/blog/noreply@blogger.com
