I have many peaches where there are two peaches in the same pod. They are growing together much like conjoined twins. Is there anything I can do to prevent this?
Guessing by where you live, I believe that what is happening to the tree is something called buttoning. It occurs when the tree receives too little chilling. The fruit never ripens well and are small and misshapen. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/peach/peach-chill-hours.htm The other possibility is that the tree needs to be thinned after fruit sets.

I would like to know when to spray trees and what to use.
Dormant sprays should actually be started in winter. Use dormant sprays before green tissue shows in spring buds. Use on days when the air temperature is above freezing. Use a Superior Oil spray for the first dormant spray application in mid- to late winter. Three weeks later make a second application of Superior Oil or Liquid Lime Sulfur. When spraying trees to control peach borer pests, choose those with lindane endosufan or chlorpyrifos. Sprays should be mixed according to label instructions. They should also be applied so that it runs down the trunk and soaks into the ground around the base. Try not to spray on foliage or any fruit that may still be on the tree. The best time to spray trees is within the first or second week of July and again in late August or September.
The stupid lawn guy nicked a big chunk off the bottom of my peach tree AGAIN with the weedeater. Will it heal? What can I do to save it?
The tree should be fine. Don't put anything on it as this can cause more harm than good. Tree wounds will generally heal themselves. The following article should be of some help to you: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/trees/tgen/repairing-tree-bark-damage.htm
I have a peach tree that flowered in early March. It was a mild winter here, so most of my trees bloomed fairly early. However, in spite of the fact that there were several bees that visited my peach tree, the flowers just fell off and didn't produce. Will the tree grow new flowers this season?

We have two very large vegetable gardens and have been managing them with only organic products. We have just planted a peach tree and would like to know the best products to control pests. Can we manage peach tree pests without toxic chemicals and, if so, what should we use? Thanks.
Yes, you could use neem oil. It's both an effective (and safe) insecticide and fungicide. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/neem-oil-uses.htm
