That's right Cathy.  I remember more than one summer trip to the big peach 
orchards; picking many bushel baskets of peaches, and then the women canning 
peaches. I had forgotten.  Do people still make bushel baskets?
There used to be a peach orchard here in Phoenix until the b*stard land 
developers filled it with red-tiled-roofed ticky-ticky houses; they gave us 
bags in which to pick our peaches, no bushel baskets.  They only let the 
general public come out once, every year.
