	Oh, say, now that sounds good!  I will definitely try this one when I am
able to do some sugars again.  Mmmmmm.....

	They also require lots of water, to the point that peach fields are
flooded and allowed to soak during their growing season.  I don't know
the absolute agricultural statistics, but even though Georgia is the
Peach State, South Carolina boasts the "Big Peach", a sight we are
treated to when travelling to and from Pennsic from Atlanta.  In Gaffney,
SC, there is a large (think water tower) peach on a pole, with the
butt-side facing the interstate.  Quite impressive.
