This whole fucking summer, I have gotten fucked every time I bought peaches with the exception of a few donut peaches which were super juicy. It's like getting catfished; you pick a few peaches that look good on the outside, and then as soon as you get home and take a bite out of one, it is like a dry vagina inside. There is no way I know of to tell if you grabbed one of these piece of shit excuses for a fruit until you open one up. Anyone else have this issue?

yes, we've had the same issue here in The 'Peg all summer. When we were in Seattle WA a week ago, we went to the Public Market and bought a 2 dollar peach (it was HUGE) and that was by far the tastiest, juiciest, bestest peach that we've had in years.
If we could have brought a case back on the plane, we would have. Ya'll know how that'd turn out. All them pits would be considered "concealed weapons", all that juice would be considered 'explosive liquids' and all that fuzz would be considered "contraband materials" or some such blithering.
That Seattle peach though, they know how to do things right. Credit where it's due.

We got some Palisade peaches a few weeks back. They are ripe and gone in less than a month. They were so good. Basically the best thing a person could eat. I had enough for both of us. I am sorry you missed it. That is one adavatge to living in Colorado. The best peaches in the world are grown here. When I was a senior in high school, my buddies parents had a reefer trailer full of palisade peaches they were selling. We ate so many peaches beating the heat in that reefer trailer.
I had decent Georgia peaches early this year.
I am starting a couple of my own fruit orchards/food plots. I have three red heaven peach trees going. I am still a couple years out from decent fruit harvest though.
I bet we got at least 100lbs of grapes this year though. We should have raspberries blackberries and asparagus next year. Maybe some peaches on my 3 year tree if I am lucky.

I have had bad luck with peaches where I live (north Texas). What I do now is to check how firm the peaches are and leave them in a sealed bag until they are just soft when squeezed. The sealed bag keep the peaches exposed to ethylene so they continue to ripen.
All the supermarket peaches are garbage
They look perfect
Pick one up and they have no smell

i just buy my peaches in a jar.......that is usually also filled with moonshine.
If you use something thats ripe already in the bag, like a ripe banana peel, you get more ethylene and they will ripen faster. Or so I have been told.
I never have either. Its just green tomatoes into a paper bag after the first frost.
I’ve never once had a good peach from a grocery store (I’m talking Albertsons, HEB, Smith’s, Kroger etc.) in fact I won’t even buy em from grocery stores anymore. Now road side peach sales on the other hand, especially in and around Colorado. If I happen to pass by one of those you better believe I’m stopping to pick up some peaches.
Yep, mealy is the team I have always heard and I equate that to grainy, like corn meal. Ripe does not mean juicy and that has been my experience with the sore bought peaches in my area. The only time they were not like a bag of sand is when I did the "leave in a sealed bag longer" but I have not tried that again.
Ours are squirrel magnets. Had half a tree stripped of green fruit by those gray fluffy-tailed bastards. Declared war. Wiped out 5 in a few hours. The rest for the hint.
