Hi Charlene, you will be very happy when you are eating your delicious peaches as the snow flies. Let us know for sure. ❤ Lynn & Richard www.WisconsinGarden.com
You betcha. So many peaches and so little time to eat them all. That's what sharing is all about. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
I have watched many videos and I found that yours was the best. I just got some peaches from the fruit club a truck was near our town. I have to let them sit for 24-48 hours for them to ripen. I can't wait to freeze them. Thanks for sharing your video.
You are about to freeze or can a little bit of heaven. They are absolutely delicious throughout the rest of the year. Well worth the effort. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Thank you, thank you! The knife looks perfect so I ordered several. Maybe I’ll give several as gifts. LOL Thank you so much for your help. I love gardeners! Lynn
My absolute favorite knife for doing what your doing is the " Tomato Knife " by Rada...... I use it for all kinds of things freezing and canning preparations...... I have one that's 4-5 years old and I have never had to sharpen it yet
I too have my favorite Imperial knife which I've been using since we were married 48 years ago. When we were on a mission for many years to find another. After we included a photo of my knife on one of our videos, viewers in Ohio (Scott & Sarah Miller) actually found the exact same one and sent it to us as a gift. They drove here to Wisconsin and spent the weekend with us last summer as well. We were absolutely amazed and ever so grateful to the kindness, support and generosity gardeners from around the world have shared with us over the past 5 years since posting our Wisconsin Garden blog. Thanks to you too for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
You’re right, we planted them two springs ago. Last year they gave us maybe 8 peaches, and then this year they went crazy! We were so pleased! Hoping for even more next year. Yes, 124th and Capitol where Office Max, Burlington, etc are now. Also was one on Green Bay Ave in Mequon back when. Lynn
Sherry Kaiser Thanks for the kind comment. Richard is just about to release our new video this evening titled: "Freezer Peach Jam." OMG is it delightful as we just finished the first of 4-5 more batches. Richard says it's like drinking love. I thought that was a unique descriptor. Thanks again for watching and sharing. Lynn & Richard
i have 2 of them from years ago,we knew them as tomato knives,i didnt know they are hard to find now,and i never thought to use them when i cut my peaches.i will sure use it when i cut up the bunch i have when i cut them to freeze
Hi Cynthia. Actually one of our viewers in Ohio, Scott & Sarah, found the exact one Online and sent it to us as an unexpected gift. The following summer they drove to Wisconsin to spend the weekend with us to tour our gardens and also greater Milwaukee. This year one of their precious daughters sent us 3 children books for our Free Book Library. We just can't say enough about all the love and support we've received from so many viewers around the world. Never in our wildest dreams did we anticipate what was about to have after we began posting videos on RUclips about our little eclectic experimental gardens. We are truly blessed. Thank you for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Rada makes a serrated skinny knives sold as a tomato slicer. They are made in the USA and I bought everything they make. I bought ones with dishwasher safe handles.
Hi Patricia. We have many knives that we've tested over the years, but none compare to this classic wonder. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Good morning Faith. Oh my, this brings back great memories from 2013. Oh those Elberta peaches were sooooooo gooooood! We lost our peach trees a couple of years ago so this year we planted several more. Hopefully next year we will once again they will start producing. These summer time peaches make winter enjoyable.

I loved your video. Very well explained and instructions were easy to follow. Thank you I look forward to seeing your other videos. If you have extra cobbler give me a buzz lol 2 thumbs up
Aquahoma Thank you so very much for watching and sharing. As for having an extra cobbler sitting around you'll have to be here immediately after it comes out of the oven if you want a bite otherwise it disappears very quickly.

Hi Patricia. Thanks for the link. We've found many great knives available, but I was looking for a specific knife that we bought shortly after we were married nearly 50 years ago which I really, really like over all others that I also have. I just mentioned it in a couple of videos where I used the knife I had. The Millers are wonderful viewers from Ohio who actually found the same identical knife and sent it to us as a gift. We now have 2 of the best knives ever made. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Yes but you'll need to fill the jar with water, apple or white grape juice. You could use an artifical sweetner in place of sugar if you want them sweeter. You may want to freeze them instead in an air-tight container without sugar or syrup. Thanks for watching and sharing. Lynn & Richard
You convinced me to plant some peach trees. How old are they? I thought the trees had only been planted a year or two and when I saw your yield ... NICE. Treasure Island - 124th & Capital?
peaches are my absulute favorite home grown peaches are the best so juicy and plump lynn im so exited i am trying to hatch chicken eggs i have a light bulb on them i cant afford an incubator i hope this works........................
Ideally yes. With so many different aspects in our eclectic experimental gardens to consider on a daily basis, it's not always possible to pick each peach when perfectly ripe. While we try to allow as many as possible to remain on the tree until that stage, we prefer to harvest as many at a time as possible that are fully ripen or close to it before they simply fall off onto the ground and get bruised or eaten. We also have to consider the 3 different types of peach trees that ripen at different times of mid to late summer (O'Henry, Red Haven & Elberta). All we can say is that when we begin to can, freeze or eat our peaches, they are truly sweet and picked at the best time. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
awesome video..someone just gave me peaches and they are not ripe...you used tissue paper to ripen but can newspaper be used in place of tissue paper..thanks
If it were up to Richard he would prefer to keep the skins if only for that reasoning. While I also agree with your reasoning, I myself do not like the fuzzy skins on my peaches. Just can't eat them that way so I blanch. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
John Carey We live about 20 miles NW of downtown Milwaukee and our 2 year old peach tree gave us this harvest. ruclips.net/video/UATG726hu5s/видео.html Enjoy! Thanks for watching and sharing. Lynn & Richard
John Carey Make sure the label of the tree(s) you select is listed as hardy for zone at least zone 5 and comes with a 1-year warranty. We purchased 4 more peach trees last year and this spring we didn't see one blossom. We're hoping to finally get some peaches growing next year. TKS Lynn & Richard
WisconsinGarden Yep, I checked around and found one that is cold hardy down to -20 That is cold. Haven't seen -20 below since the 80's. Thanks for your help.
If you are still looking for a "skinny" bladed knife go to RADACUTLERY . com and look at their tomato knife. We have several of them and they are great for slicing just about anything.... hope this helps
Going to take your advice and freeze the rest of this 1/2 bushel we bought last Tuesday. Will let you know!!!!
Hi Charlene, you will be very happy when you are eating your delicious peaches as the snow flies. Let us know for sure. ❤ Lynn & Richard www.WisconsinGarden.com

You’re right, worm castings are just the thing I need to add. Thanks, Lynn
You two are cute! :) Thanks for the video. I'm picking up a case of peaches this weekend and this helps a lot!

Lynn & Richard
Lol, love the description. Thanks for answering. I'm looking forward to viewing it! :)
I have done it both ways. I think the water version is better at getting it all over the peaches, faster too. Thanks for your question. Lynn
i have 2 of them from years ago,we knew them as tomato knives,i didnt know they are hard to find now,and i never thought to use them when i cut my peaches.i will sure use it when i cut up the bunch i have when i cut them to freeze

How can I freeze peaches without sugar...do other natural sweetners like stevia?
Yes but you'll need to fill the jar with water, apple or white grape juice. You could use an artifical sweetner in place of sugar if you want them sweeter. You may want to freeze them instead in an air-tight container without sugar or syrup. Thanks for watching and sharing. Lynn & Richard

Aren't you supposed to let peaches ripen on the tree? That's what I do and it has always worked very well. That way they get as big as possible.
Ideally yes. With so many different aspects in our eclectic experimental gardens to consider on a daily basis, it's not always possible to pick each peach when perfectly ripe. While we try to allow as many as possible to remain on the tree until that stage, we prefer to harvest as many at a time as possible that are fully ripen or close to it before they simply fall off onto the ground and get bruised or eaten.

She eats all those fruits and veggies LOL
awesome video..someone just gave me peaches and they are not ripe...you used tissue paper to ripen but can newspaper be used in place of tissue paper..thanks
+Linda Hamilton Yes, hope you received my email regarding peaches this afternoon. Thanks again for posting and watching. Lynn & Richard
I would not use newspaper because the ink is not safe. Buy food safe paper from Amazon.
Thanks for sharing and I just subbed you
Welcome to our garden family. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
may I ask .. why does everyone take the peels off "blanching" ? It's where all the nutrients are !
If it were up to Richard he would prefer to keep the skins if only for that reasoning. While I also agree with your reasoning, I myself do not like the fuzzy skins on my peaches. Just can't eat them that way so I blanch. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
Happy wife happy life ! =)
You betcha! - TKS Lynn & Richard
Rada Makes a tomato knife that is real good
We'll check them out. Thanks for watching, caring and sharing. Lynn & Richard
