Tree looks healthy and putting on new growth. Some scattered peaches are the size of golf balls, but many little ones (the size of your pinkie) are shriveling and sickly looking. They even have odd shapes.
Your tree could be suffering from a brown rot fungus.
You can treat most fungal disease with a fungicide.

My peaches outer green part is being eaten or something. What should I do? I have used in section but same problem. The peach outer green is riddled with small holes.
Inspect the tree carefully.
Do you see any other evidence of insects or bugs?
Chewed leaves?
If so you could use a insecticidal soap or Neem Oil.
I have heard that squirrels will nibble on peaches. Do you have those critters in your garden?
I have garden friends who actually place Squirrel feeders near the trees to encourage them to stay off of the fruit trees,
This would be a more difficult task to control.
Birds also will eat your peaches.

My peach tree has some yellowing of small leaves in the center of tree. I do believe it has enough water. Is this something to worry about? I see small black ants on the tree as well as a small black fly of sorts flying around the tree. Should I be using an insecticide on this?
The leaf yellowing is due to stress. Since you mention the ants and flying insects around the tree, my guess would be that is has a pest of some kind, likely aphids or a similar sap-sucking insect. They generally tend to secrete honeydew, a sticky substance which may be present on the leaves. This honeydew is what attracts the ants and flies. I would recommend treating the tree iwth neem oil, which should take care of the pest problem and in turn take care of the ants and flies. It is also safe to use and an effective fungicide as well should other issues pop up due to the stress from the pests. It is often sold as fruit tree spray at stores. Check the label.

My peaches get a mold and then rot before they ripen. Do you have any help?

We planted several sapling peach, plum and pear trees this year. All the pear trees are doing fine. The peach and plum trees sprouted leaves and within a week the leaves fell off and the trunks started to turn yellow and an odd shade of brown. I still have a few that are not doing this, but I am clueless about what to do and if I can save any of the affected trees. We sprayed for insects. I did have aphids and my rose bush turned yellow but the new growth came in and it is fine. Please help.
Proper watering is usually the cause of newly planted tree issues.

I moved into a home about 4 months ago that has a pear and peach trees. Both have started forming fruit but it seems the peaches aren't growing in size. What can I do, if anything, and when is peach picking time in Alabama?
Typically, in order to get larger peaches, the trees need to be thinned. Deciding when to harvest peaches is a matter of personal preference. While most people prefer tree-ripened fruit, but fruit at this stage has an extremely short shelf life. Therefore, it may be better to pick the fruit two to four days before it is fully ripe. Here are some things to look for when harvesting peaches: When the fruit is easily pulled off the twigs then it is probably ripe. You should feel a certain amount of movement when you press in to the flesh of the peach with your fingers. When peaches change from green to an orange tint, they are nearly ripe. Ripe peaches will give off a pleasant, peachy smell.

I planted a Scarlet Prince in April. This year it has two peaches on it and recently they have become covered in a clear jelly like substance. What is it?
It does sound like peach tree borer.
