I just picked the last peaches off a peach tree we planted a few years back. I had no idea how many peaches a tiny tree could produce. Its' branches bent all the way to the ground, the load was so heavy. A lot of the fruit was wasted, but what we did manage to pick over the past 2 weeks was wonderful. We gave it a lot of it away to neighbors by the bucketfuls, our fridge is full, and my son baked us a peach pie which we shared at dinner last night. The wife made a yummy peach kuchen, too.
There's something to be said for simple living. The kind you can't find in out current post-modernity. Something like a "life"...
Homegrown peaches are my favorite! And a close second is nectarines. It's a real pleasure to have homegrown fruit. Your neighbors are lucky that you're generous! I like to slice them and freeze them and make peach cobbler in the winter.
