Photo 22 Aug 39 notes nybg: Peaches, Beautiful and Fleeting, Thanks to Fuzzy Thin Skin Finding a good apple at any time of year is about as easy as opening your mailbox. I’m pretty sure they stuff them in with the junk mail. But getting your mitts on a decent post-summer peach is more like finding the holy grail; I’m not saying you need Harrison Ford and Sean Connery to make it happen, but you might have to travel some. So why, in our age of speedy international trade and worldwide harvests, is it so hard to pin down a bushel of peaches some seasons when so much produce is available year round? Well, when it comes to this particular hand fruit, thin skin means more than just hurt feelings. —MN
