Picking Peaches

We harvested 28 peaches yesterday off our Frost Peach tree.  Many were mature, but not quite ripe, so we've set them out in the house to soften for a couple of days.  Mature fruit have developed the sugars in the fruit, so there are sweet but still firm.  Ripe fruit have developed all their sugars and are soft.  We picked the fruit at the mature stage rather than the ripe stage because we've had problems in the past of ripe fruit falling off the tree on windy days and the dogs eating them before we can.  We've also had problems with the peaches splitting near the stem and earwigs getting in them and eating out the pit.  Last year, there would be 10 earwigs in each large peach.  This year, I put Tanglefoot traps along the trunk of the tree to trap earwigs as they climb up, but a few got past and into one of the peaches.  Also, peaches don't all ripen at the same time, so there are still 15 or so still on the tree.
