The Peach Pits

I need some lessons in cultivating peaches. My surprise peach tree continues to produce, but the peaches rot or are eaten in the tree before I ever get a chance to harvest. See ...







I've read that you can't pick peaches before they are ready because they won't continue to ripen once off the tree. What to do?



Also, a bird has built its nest in the tree and stares daggers through me every time I go out there. I sense it has really intense hatred for me. If anything happens to me, track down the bird!
