What do you guys all mean by "Injun peaches"? You all still got wild peach thickets in your country like we got wild plums in some places up here?

Until the last few years we were always too far north for peaches. We're not anymore, and now I'm getting curious and even planted a Contender from Stark a year ago this past spring. Would have had peaches on it this year, too, except we got a couple of pretty hard hail storms already this year. Only one fruit left now on the little tree. We had a real mild winter last year; so that wasn't any kind of real hardiness test, but the blossoms survived a couple of late frosts; so I'm hoping for a little better return next year.

They are small, about the size of a golf ball. Pit is small. Producers use them as graft stock. Canners use them for spiced peaches.

Same here...getting 'maters, squash, cayanne peppers, bale peppers, sweet peppers, purple hull peas, cukes. Okra is putting on now too. The rauin has been good until a week or so ago. Now just plain hot and dry. Hope that rain shows up some more or the garden will be toast before long. Watering just aint the same as some good ground soaking rain.

Anybody gets sick of putting up maters let me know. I'm not gonna make any this year....again....again.

Wannabe...

I think I've picked a dozen ripe maters and cooked may be 6 or 8 green uns
