There are more messages that don't give any info about where the fruit is
being grown, or what geographic area the questions are for.

Could folks please put their location in the message or signature?

Thanks

Subject: [NAFEX] Best peach I ever ate



My mid/late peaches, coming in now, are doing very well - it has not
rained as much recently. The earlier ones ripening in the rainy
period were much more watery.

I haven't been impressed with many peaches compared to nectarines,
rain or no I must say. I am trying several dozen peach varieties.
The ones I like the most are the older varieties which usually have
very small fruits; my favorites in that category so far this year
includes Foster, St. John, Rareripe, and Sanguine Tardeva. All of
these are very flavorful. I have had two good "modern" peaches so far
this year, Clayton and Silver Logan. These two are much larger than
the old varieties but still pack a lot of flavor. Now many other
peaches are perfectly fine, but any nectarine not picked too early
will be better.
