I Ask You

Where can a person buy a good peach?

Who is growing these beautiful-on-the-outside-dry-flavorless-on-the-inside (where it counts) peaches?

What are they doing to them to make them so nasty?

For two years I bought no peaches. Even the nectarines were nasty. This year I bought one nectarine--chancy--and it was a miracle. Good, juicy, full of flavor. Hallelujah, I thought. So I bought more nectarines, all just wonderful.

I should have left it there. But no.

I went to Utah. Too late to enjoy the peaches from my sister's tree, I was recipient of her neighbor's peaches. So delicious.

I came home and bought three peaches. They were big and peach-colored and promising. They looked a lot like the ones I ate in Utah. Oh boy! I thought.

BUT NO!

I ask you, What is the deal?
