I have another tree that I planted last year that has a couple peaches on it that I left on it just to compare. It looks like they will be ripe in a week or two. Glad it's a bit later then this Contender so they aren't all ready at the same time. Today it's freezing peaches day, and maybe some more peach butter. Arlene, I like peaches on pancakes, waffles, and I make a puff pancake (like popovers). I like peaches on that sprinkled with some powdered sugar, and of course whipped cream.
