Saturn peach is just about ripe!

July 9, 2009 by Marilyn Odneal

Yum. I tasted one of the Saturn doughnut peaches (from the one tree I have in the horticulture garden) and it was almost ripe. I also noticed down by the brush pile that the green june beetles were buzzing around in arcs just above the grass. Hopefully they won’t find the Saturns as they love to eat peaches.

A Saturn doughnut peach is easy to eat. Just hold the pitted middle with you thumb and index finger and eat all around.
