Sounds like good advice. My parents used to have a peach and apricot tree where they lived. The thing is not only knowing when the fruit is ripe enough for picking, but then to see if the fruit has holes in it and has worms. Mom used to sort through the fruit and discard the bad ones. we used them for eating, of course, pies, and cobblers. far superior to store fruit. enjoy.

You don't want them to feel too firm. Maybe just a little bit soft but if you should pick them too early, just let them set out a few days and they smell and that's one way to know if it's ready to eat. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark [mailto:cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org] On Behalf Of Charles Rivard via Cookinginthedark Sent: Friday, August 08, 2014 1:41 PM To: cooking in the dark list Subject: [CnD] picking peaches A question for those who have peach trees on their property: How do you know when to pick the peaches if you are blind? I've got a few nice big ones, and don't want to leave them on too long. I also don't want to pick them too early. Obviously, I can't go by color. Thanks. --- Be positive!
