@SharkE. Where do you find decent peaches in Amarillo? The only time I've gotten good ones is when in Colorado. The raise wonderful fruit.

yep, that's where they're coming in from

They have a stand up on Coulter St. beside a nursery shrub business

Not cheap, but, reminds me of Ind.

My son has a peach tree in his front yard. My dil, every summer, has wonderful peaches that she cans. Last year she was ready to pick them the next day. She got up the next day and every single peach was gone from their tree! We were stumped how they all could be gone. Well, my son, within the last year, has installed outdoor cameras. We now know what happened to the peaches....deer. My son lives in the middle of the suburbs and have deer visiting every night eating all they flowers, vegetation and yup, you guessed it, all the peaches off of their tree! Grrr.

@ID2. Those deer probably thought they'd died and gone to heaven.

Nectarines are in too. Went to my local gourmet market Weiland's this week for Georgia peaches and they were out of them. They made a deal with the peach guy who'll be back this weekend. They will buy all he has to stock the shop.

Meanwhile their staffer I talked to sold me on THE BEST nectarines ever. Bought 4, I've eaten 2 so far - these are AMAZING!!!!!! So sweet, so tasty they almost melt in my mouth. If I end up missing the peaches this weekend, it'll be okay because I'm buying more nectarines.

Earlier this season we tried the peaches from CA - looked and smelled great, peeled nicely too but there was no flavor. Then peaches from S.Carolina came in, haven't tried those becase we wait for the Georgia peaches. Now we're talking but they GO FAST.

Yeah, Ga is probably the best. Up in Ind we had good ones, now, I have to be happy with what comes out of Colorado since Tx doesn't grow squat.

(amarillo, Tx area,,,,,,high plains)

Cows, are the boss down here.

Colorado peaches from Noland Orchards out of Co will be here tomorrow. Can't wait. My mouth is watering right now. LOL!!!

Cunningham's will be bringing in peaches from Co twice in Aug & once in Sept. so I will be eating peaches thru Sept or Oct.

I will have to cut up some to put in the freezer for smoothies. Just finished off what we had left from last year.

My peach diet will soon start. As many peaches as I eat you would think I would turn into a peach.

@SharkE

Are they from Cunningham's out of Co.? If you are not sure here is their Amarillo schedule since I think that's where you are located. Their peaches are huge & juicy. You need a plate or stand over the sink eating they are so juicy. YUM!!!

I don't know where you are located but Cunningham Peaches out of Co. sell their peaches in other Ok/Tx locations. You can check out their site online to see their schedule. Just search Cunningham Peaches.

We bought a box of peaches from Sams Club about a week ago. They were from California. I forgot the name of the peach. But they were so good. The juice was running down my hands and arms while I was peeling them. And the skin came off so easy because they were nice and ripe.

We went through about 12 of them in 3-4 days. I hope they still have some when I go back tomorrow.

The one local market in this town has had NC peaches for sale for a few weeks. We find this roadside stand to be pretty much hit and miss; the peaches were good, and we found nice green beans as well as slicing tomatoes on that trip. We came home from our last trip with only fresh corn. The TN peaches at the grocery store were pretty looking peaches, still quite firm, and at $.30 cents a pound higher than the roadside market price, I didn’t buy any.

@SharkE, deer are like goats, they eat lots of things in large amounts and have no ill effects. Nasty rodents! My area is overrun with them right now.

Up in Ind. deer hunters abounded.

Don't know if they hunt deer down here or not in Tx.

I know a guy who hunts wild pigs. LOL He calls them 'feral ' pigs. LOL

@Kachina624 There is a woman from Grand Junction set up across the road selling peaches...haven’t gotten any yet but heard they are really juicy this year...DW

@SharkE,

Deer hunting is big here in WV. Nearly 108,900 deer were killed statewide last year, and we are still overrun with them because the state restricts the killing of the females. Every 5 years or so hunters can buy an extra stamp to kill a doe during gun season, but the overall impact per county is still too low to see a difference.

@dancingwoman. A lot of your fruit comes from Fruita which is near Grand Junction on the slopes of Grand Mesa.

I was in the City Market in Durango one day when they started hauling in crates of Colorado raised peaches. They were gorgeous, big and flawless. I bought as many as would fit in our RV. They were heavenly. I've bought great peaches at the City Market on other occasions too.

@SharkE @RedTop. Texas deer are tiny little things about the size of a German Shepherd. I don't think there's much deer hunting around Amarillo but there may be some Antelope. I've seen a lot of them around Roswell.

My dh killed a feral hog once that was hanging around our horse barn. They can be dangerous. We paid to have it dressed and wrapped. Nastiest meat I ever ate. We threw it away.
