Y'all my peach trees are covered in, well, peaches! Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep the bugs from snacking on them? Blackberry bushes are blooming and my grapes vines are covered!
Spring brings beautiful Bearded Iris & wild roses

I'd grow them if I could make them happy but I think they want more cold than they'd get here. I remember being allowed to pick and eat a peach while on a school retreat. You could see the nectar dripping off it. In ninety + degree temperatures it was hard to eat without making a mess. So amazingly good.

a friend up in northern VA had peach trees and we use to ride the horses past them - I would always snatch a few for the ride - now that is a mess in the making but oh so delicious 
Looks like good old Malathion dust....and soon...or them babies will be filled with worms and all sorts of 'ills"

is that
Lady bugs are eating the peaches or Lady bugs will eat the bugs eating the peaches?
I've heard that if you thin out the peaches , that the ones left will be sweeter .

This is the 1st year with any real amount. They are young trees - the last couple of years I only got a couple on one tree and critters or bugs got them.
No idea about the little critters but you should start getting peachy

Looks like you will be will stocked with peaches and blackberries. I'd love to see your irises when they open all the way.
