peach trees question

[Arlene]

for the past 2 years I haven't been getting any of the peaches off the trees. they are so pretty but will NOT grow bigger than a golf ball! is it still too early. they are still hard and green but now beginning to turn a pretty peach color on top of them.



what am I doing wrong or what can I do to make them grow next year? I water regularly when it was not raining that is and even tried miracle grow this year but not working at all. I have 2 trees and they are not near each other so it isn't a particular area.. the leaves are pretty and green and the blooms were amazing then came the little peaches. but then they just won't grow.

thanks in advance!!

yes they are leaning. that last storm brought winds up to 75 mph in Callaway I heard.. tornados confirmed...again so I heard. It took a few barns and trees but not any major things that I know of. but anyway it about flattened my trees. I was at work and came home to find a few tree limbs down and other stuff blown away but all in all we were ok.

and I do see there might be some sort of blight or something on the peaches that were not there a week ago. maybe the rain did something? and no I have not mowed for 2 weeks... my mower decided to go on strike again so I just got mad and left it sitting where it died and not touched it since :\

IF I ever get my album set up where I can find things I will post what the trees looked like before they grew the peaches or almost got knocked down by the wind.

I've never grown peaches myself, but those look as big as any I've seen outside a grocery... Maybe they feed theirs hormones or something! Ha ha ha.... I have no clue... just rambling!

I found out that I was supposed to thin them out who knew
apparently they are supposed to not touch each other at all and are supposed to be a few inches from each other!
but they are so pretty now and getting ripe but just teeny still . next year I am going to have peaches out the wahooo and will be making peach pie, peach cobbler, peach jam etc!!! come on spring hurry back!!
