All in all, I usually prefer grocery store peaches to grocery store nectarines. But it's a crap shoot. The best "peach" I ever had was a nectarine several years ago, and this year we got a batch of terrific nectarines. We also got some really excellent peaches form the local produce place, though. Even the locally grown ones vary a lot. they were only excellent for a week and a half, both earlier and later they were just so-so. I'm sure the local farmers grow more than one type, and I'd guess that only one cultivar was both an excellent cultivar and also arrived ripe in the store. Ginda eastern Mass., zone 6 |
