Speaking of peaches... flat ones?
The 'ordinary' peach that I planted two years ago is doing well
(considering the peach leaf curl) and trying to fruit its heart out. But... the 'flat' peach I tasted last summer was far more interesting. I know they're successful under glass not far from here -- has anyone any experience of growing these without glass on a south/west facing wall? Where could I get one, and what variety should I look for? regards sarah -- NB. Note change of *usenet* email address: 'amitiel.demon.do.uk' will soon cease to function. My other email address will remain valid. Think of it as evolution in action :-) |

The ones I have seen are white fleshed and sweeter than the regular ones.
When I was a kid (nearly 200 years ago, at least it feels that way sometimes) my mother grew white peaches. They were the best tasting ones around. I guess they weren't as attractive so they were hybridized into what we get now. Dwayne "Bob Hobden" wrote in message ... "sarah" wrote ...
