After being frozen out last year, our peach trees are making up for it this year with a bumper crop. (The lemon tree on the other hand is gone for good - poor thing just couldn't quite recover after we over watered it this winter.)
Some of the fruit of our labor ready for the freezer
My "hand-picked" selection above.
(a.k.a. the few I actually helped with...)
Peaches really are a lot of work. The trees are more disease prone than other types of fruit trees. So, there are sprays throughout the year, and then a lot of picking, sorting, cutting, peeling, canning, freezing, etc. From our six trees, I'd guess we've taken several bushels so far with a lot still left on the trees.

As I hinted at above, Angela has done most of the work. She'd probably note there's nothing new with that! :P
