The peaches on my tree, against a south facing wall, are a lovely ripe
colour and have been so for weeks. They show no sign of ripeneing. In
our last garden we grew the same variety (Peregrine) and they would be
ripe by early August. Is the problem the cool and cloudy summer, or
something else? I am slightly worried that they may get frosted a bit
later on.
We are in South Warwickshire.
Thanks
Jonathan

Don't be impatient. they will come. There is only a narrow window
with peaches, you need to keep checking them.
Mine are the same.

To be honest I have given up on mine, in fact grubbed them out this
year. I also grew Peregrine on a South facing wall. One year we had so
many that we could hardly cope, but most years the crop was very sparse,
though they did ripen ok, the few that there were! :-(
