When do you pick them!Some of mine are starting to go golden but are quite hard still, should I pick them or wait until they ripen on the trees.!

Sounds like they are getting close and better left to partially ripen then pick.

Tee Hee I forgot I wrote that,Those peaches were clean stone so they wern't golden queen I just thought they were.All the fruit trees are grown from stones and Im just working out what they are.Im getting nervous as they ar so close to being ripe, just a little brown rot but if it rains ill probably loose the crop.Need to pick and bottle and freeze them as soon as possible.

clear stone or clean stone, looks like golden queen, probably one of the watties varieties, yes they are a variety of fruit, developed by them - to be free stone ( clear stone, clean stone ) to be easier to process just bite into one, you'll know immediately if they are ready, they do retain quite a firmness and soften in processing so your bite test is for sugar ( sweetness ) the texture can be quite chunky till cooked

Once the peach is full in shape and showing colour, they can be picked as required. They will soften in just a few days when with other fruit in the bowl. I enjoyed one last night, picked hard from a friends place last week.
