August 1, 2011Q.Thinning Peaches
My peaches are clustered, 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Is it too late to thin? I have so many peaches, but small and still hard; they are beginning to get color. Possible they will be edible? Can they be thinned now with any success for edible fruit?

Certified ExpertA.You can still thin. The fruit probably will not reach optimal size, pruning this late, but their flavor will be improved.

Certified ExpertA.If the peaches look ok, they are fine. Brown rot won't hurt you but it does not make the affected peaches taste good. If the peaches are unaffected, they should taste ok.

August 9, 2011Q.Taking Care of Peach Trees
Tell me how to take care of peach trees from fall until they have fruit. I have got 6 trees and I don't know how to spray for them. They get ruined every year I spray, but I'm not doing something right. How do I prune them, and what part of the year do I prune?

August 9, 2011A.I'm an organic gardener and never had bug free peaches until I started bagging the limbs. i still have trouble with bacterial spot but I can still enjoy delicious peaches if I peel off the skin. Maybe someone will tell me how to control the spot but in the meantime the bags work great to keep the bugs off.
