you'll have to put some kind of pest repellent on the peaches, my suggestion is soap and water every three or four days. the ants love it and so do raccoons and other vermin, so beware. they taste great in late july and august, plus you can make pies, pastries and other things with it. they can really well and they'd taste the same 6 months later in a mason jar in the freezer. taste better than canned or fresh you buy at the store.
