We have a commercial peach crop here in Colorado....and they're doing fine. Link

Colorado Peaches are grown in the perfect climate. The hot days are contrasted with cool nights which brings out the maximum sweetness in a peach. We have found through the years that the Colorado peaches simply taste the best.

I am in the Mid Atllantic and peaches are one of the areas special harvests, second only to the local sweet corn. We are in a very bad drought right now and things do not look good for either peaches or corn. Nor, does it look good for anything else in the fields.

We, too, had a very unusual warm winter and the trees budded out early. Now the ground is dry and cracked and the grass is turning brown. Even the shubbery is drooping . The water from the tap is tasting like the bottom of a lake. It comes from the Potomac and the river is also low. It does not look good.

This year in PA everything looks bad. The plants are struggling to survive since we have not had a rainy day since April 30. The worst drought I can remember, wells are going dry , shrubs, trees and bushes dying. A terrible year. Farmers who have planted see no growth.

Darn, and just when I discovered Bellinis.

Make them with mango juice instead.

Oof. Here in Northern Utah our winter was extra long so everything was late to bloom. My apricot trees didn't at all but the rest of them did.

My sugar snap peas just barely got flowers on them when normally they are starting to be on their way out. Everything in my garden is still small except for the lettuce and spinach which are very happy.

So sorry to see these issues are in other states too - so far, the organic peaches and nectarines at Walmart seem fine - and about the same price as last year. They say only 'product of USA', so I've no idea where they were grown.

Very sorry to hear that. We always buy Georgia peaches to tide us over till our own come in. We generally pass on the California ones in favor of better taste and ripening of Georgia peaches.

I had not heard of how dry Pennsylvania is. That's bad.

Here in Massachusetts its reported that in addition to peaches taking a hiit, apples did as well. climate change at work

We grow a lot of peaches in WA and I tried to see what the predictions are for our crop but I can't seem to find any info. Not sure we get any Georgia peaches fresh here. I think we get some from CA. I was wondering about cherries...WA grows the country's largest sweet cherry crop and it says it should be up 30% this year, so that's good news.

We just got some wonderful peaches from South Carolina! We had not heard about the Georgia peaches. We summer in the mountains of NC, and usually get the best peaches.

My peach tree did very well last year, not so much this year. Droughty here too in MI. Strawberries did pretty well though. They hate a lot of wet when they are ripening. On the flip side, my black raspberries are gonna be real seedy, they need a lot of water to give a juicy berry.

Our peach industry and the wine industry were both adversely affected by cold snaps last December. The peach industry in some areas is wiped out.

.97lb for peaches @ Safeway last week.

Our Alabama peaches were hit by the late March freeze but not as badly as Georgia’s crop. I bought some delicious Red Havens last weekend and plan to buy more later from my favorite orchard near us. They published a schedule for the different varieties and their projected ripening/availability times so i’ll be looking for my favorites, although honestly I love almost all of them.

I planted a dwarf peach tree last year in my front yard. Hoping to get fruit in a couple years. I also bought two cherries trees for the side yard, one dwarf and one semi-dwarf. I hope I live long enough to get some fruit. My two persimmon trees were damaged by frost this year. No fruit this year. They do have a bunch of new growth on them so I'm hoping next year!

Late to the peach party. The Peach Truck (from somewhere in GA) comes to my area of PA each year and I pre order. This year, they warned us their supply was limited. I still ordered a 10 # box and they were delicious!

Peaches are only semi-perennial here in Maine. I have a hard time with the idea of the work establishing a short lived tree. That said several times benefitted when a generous friend had a bumper crop. I may have to bite the bullet.

We are definitely not having a drought this year. I think it has rained 35 of the last 30 days. I think at this point all of my shoes are soggy. We did have a cold snap after an early start to spring. I think apple crops might have been damaged. My high bush blueberries look ok but the wild ones look damaged.

I gave up on peaches last year, as they all spoiled before they ripened. What causes that? Picked too soon?

Blueberries are $3 a pint in Chicagoland this week. Am I wrong to think they'll be 99 cents in a few weeks? July is always blueberry season.
