Also, coming out of the petioles of all the leaves on my peach tree are little growths.
What are those?

my camera would not focus on the growth.
The pictures just show the leaves so no point in posting them.
I think they are the flower buds for next year but i am not sure. I read that the tree will produce next years flower buds the previous year.

Does anyone have a source for pics of what the newly formed flower buds will look like?

Flower buds are plump and at the base of the leaf petiole. Perhaps you could do a google search for peach leaves and link to a picture that looks like yours?

Here is a link that might be useful: peach flower buds
