I have several plum and peach trees. We moved here last year, and were
excited about having fruit trees, but alas, when the fruit came out, it all
got this ugly mildew and shriveled up to nothing! This year, I want to spray
the trees so they don't any pests or diseases, but I have no idea when is
the correct time to spray. Does anyone know when is the appropriate time?

Ugly mildew sounds like brown rot. Peaches aren't easy. It takes
several chemicals sprayed at the right time and for a couple trees it
becomes expensive and you have to get educated in order to buy and
handle the chemicals. I think you are too late this year, but
contact a county agricultural agent for the information you need.
