When to pick peaches?

kudzu9
14 years ago

I planted a Frost Peach tree in my Seattle-area yard two years ago and it is already bearing fairly well. I have about 3 dozen peaches this year, but I don't know when to pick them. Most look pretty full size, and I am starting to find some on the ground. The ones on the ground mostly ripened indoors after a few days. Is the falling off the tree an indication that it's time to pick them all, or is something else going on here? Any advice on when to pick? Thanks.
