Who the hell is talking about hockey here? GRAPEFRUIT, dammit. Peaches are good too. I thought peach season was early summer, no? I have not been too impressed with the peaches this year. Nor the strawberries.SkaredShtles said:You mean like the hockey players?

Mmmmm...tasty looking peaches. They would rock in a cobbler.
Great. Two posts and I've already attempted a derail of my *own* thread.I Are Baboon said:

Yeah - a buddy owns an orchard out in palisade. I've got 30# of those fackers to eat.robdamanii said:
Holy crap. At least it's not 30# of cake or something.SkaredShtles said:Yeah - a buddy owns an orchard out in palisade. I've got 30# of those fackers to eat.

We have a bushel of peaches sitting in our kitchen. Looks like I'll have to get in and destroy that at some point. They look tasty.
What about cake with peaches?I Are Baboon said:
Although I'm not quite sure what the story is with the human blood garnish.
I've never understood why putting hard peaches in a brown paper bag for a couple of days ripens them. It work wonders though! It turns your hard sour peach into a soft juicy tasty treat.

Looks like period blood though...
Something about the gas given off by the ripening fruit being contained in the bag accelerates the ripening process.I Are Baboon said:I've never understood why putting hard peaches in a brown paper bag for a couple of days ripens them.

I stopped on my road ride the other day and swiped a couple of peaches right off the tree. Oh so good. The local peaches have been really good this year. The local tomatos have been good as well especially the ones out of my garden.

BWAAAHHHH...very true!robdamanii said:
Yeah, I agree with that. It has been hard to find good fruit this summer.I Are Baboon said:
Peaches and cream eh...I expected whipped cream.
I tried something different this year and went with all heirloom vegetable seeds. Got them from www.seedfest.co.uk. The ugly ripe tomatos late last year from the store were so good that I wanted to try them out. As for tomatos I did 3 red tomatos and 1 yellow not sure what the new yard was going to support. All four of them have gone freaking crazy.SkaredShtles said:
A couple of the first off the beefsteak plants were gigantic. Even the cherry tomatos have been bigger than I expected. All of them have been tasty. I will definately be going this route again.
