Richard:

But there are also a few other peaches I've seen that reputedly do well in colder New England climates.  I'm in the process of adding three to my orchard here on the Maine Coast (Zone 5).  They may be worth adding to your mix:

Double Jewel
Encore
Nectar

If anyone else has had success with these varieties, I'm very interested in hearing how they've done for you.     I believe both Encore and Nectar have quite high chill requirements.
