Jean, they are eatable without spraying. But if you're fighting insect invasion, peach trees are often sprayed in the early spring before the buds open, with a dormant oil spray (it comes in a spray can and you can use it yourself, with a stepladder) which keeps the insect eggs laid under the bark from surviving. I've found a more serious invasion is the squirrels, which check out the ripeness of the peaches every day. No spray works on them, but some people clothe the whole tree in a snood of plastic netting as the fruits begin to color. If you pick a peach and start eating it and find an insect (worm, usually) inside, that's not so bad. What's worse is finding HALF a worm!

I just completed a plant trade with Jean. She sent enormous divisions of some wonderful perennials. She has a great sense of humor judging from her e-mails. Thanks for a great plant trade, Jean. Hope we can trade again. Maria

A few comments, that you may or may not find helpful. You mention "really want a F &P" but then disparage your new Frigidaire for having "the digital junk." Seems an interesting pair of comments being that Fisher & Paykel DishDrawers are fully electronic and have plastic tubs. :-) "Course looked for the shortest cycle. Pushed the 'Quick clean'" Choose a cycle appropriate for the soil level of the load. Maybe it was suitable in this case, but I've run across people who are reluctant to use heavier-duty cycles and then complain that their machine doesn't perform satisfactorily. The displayed run-time at the start of a cycle is to be considered an estimate, and may increase if the machine needs to heat the water more than is typical or has soil sensors that react to the load conditions. Some machines also do a "calibration" process on the first cycle run (and repeat it on an occasional basis) that involves more time. Your new Frigidaire is an entirely different machine from your previous Creda, and adjustments in usage habits are likely to be required.

I love this on-line furniture store..interiordefine.com. It is as close as you can get to “custom”…you choose style, fabric, legs…I have their Rose sofa and I love it. So, how about a chair like this…you choose legs and fabric: https://www.interiordefine.com/maxwell-chair?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI8bfCrtjl5QIVDorICh1urQWSEAQYECABEgI0QPD_BwE#LK-14342-16/Leg014-3 As for your fabric…thinking it is a bit bold for the look you want.
