You seem really upset about this. Was there some news article that you
read?

I was gonna say......

I grew up in Modesto, CA (Stanislaus County Seat) which liked to call
itself the "Peach Capital of the World". Mighta been, back in the 60s,
but now, not so much.....

Best fresh peach I ever ate came from Georgia. This was in the late
70s, early 80s, before produce became world-wide, in origin.

They grow them here in CT but they are not as good as some of the
Southern. When I lived in PA we had a peach tree

NJ had one of the best selections of produce though, peaches, corn,
tomatoes, blueberries and cantaloupes were some of the best. Every
neighborhood in Philly had a huckster that brought the stuff once or
twice a week. Farmer's market at your doorstep.

They grow great peaches here in the Niagara Peninsula. We have a number
of peach orchards nearby and we always look forward to the freshly
picked fruit. Nice ripe peaches do not travel well.

Probably a lot of things going up with Michael, I don't really use peaches
at all anymore, but I do like them. Before my next door neighbor died a few
years ago, she had wonderful peaches on her backyard tree which she shared.
I haven't really had a good supermarket peach, so I quit buying them.

Peach trees are also relatively short lived, orchards need to plant
new saplings regularly as they typically produce for about ten years
and then go into decay. Peach trees grow well on Lung Guyland but
often winters get too cold here in the northern Catskills. I just
discovered that the Davis Peach Farm is no mo

When I used to can, I'd make a bunch (pints) of peach pickles for holiday gifts...they were always most popular, close seconds were pickled okra, and also cantaloupe pickles...peeps liked my brandied cherries, too...

Despite searching, I've not found any decent peaches for decades, even local farmers markets come up short, they are "hit or miss"...peach ice cream I've not seen for many years, what happened to it? Make yer own I guess...

I now used canned for my daily needs, mostly to use in my breakfast yogurt...

This is from first hand observation. Kroger came in and forced their national items, like peach muffins, into a community they had little knowledge of.. The former Mariano's stocked cranberry-nut muffins and a variety of muffin types. Same thing with Mariano's hot buffet items, which Kroger dropped meat items from and used a standardized central kitchen production of buffet fixings. The only previous Kroger chain around Chicago is the Food-4-Less warehouse of drab corn syrupy box food with a parking lot littered with sale flyers.

Right, can't find decent tree ripened peaches anymore.... harder to
find than a fifteen year young virgin vagina.
Years ago horse drawn produce carts traversing Brookyn's streets had
lovely wares.. twist open a tree ripened cling peach... the aroma and
vision is as close to fifteen year young virgin vagina dripping with
sugary juices as it gets... try it, may be the cure... you'll never
desire boring zuchinni again.

Supermarket is a crap shoot. You have to let them ripen a few days and
if they are really good, that batch will be gone. Next batch may ripen
and be mealy. The locals have been poor this year.

I stopped buying them. They were always disappointing. Sour, mainly. I
only buy lychees and mangos anymore. They never disappoint if you buy
them when they look ripe.

I always get peaches from local farmers stands. They sometimes have a
range of ripeness in each basket so there are some to eat right away and
some to be eaten a day or two later.

The later peaches tend to be mealier and stingier that earlier ripening
varieties.

It will affect the Georgia peach industry and likely South Carolina.
Also the peanut crop. There are *lots* of peanuts grown in this part of
the South:

or:

Expect the price of peanut butter to go up after Hurricane Micheal.
Also summer squashes.

It's the water (H2O).

Plants get it, they're good. They don't get it, they're not so good.

CA has jes survived a drought and SoCal wants any water NorCal has
left. They may get it, too, as SoCal has the votes! Don't get me
started....
