Grampahol is right about too much water. I grow watermelons and cantaloupes in my garden. If you water them more they might get bigger but the drier the weather the sweeter the fruit. Not sure of the science behind this, but it is true.
BTW when was the last time anyone bought a good fresh peach. Even when they are in season all Ican find are the hard ones that I suppose are easier to ship, but they just don't taste like peaches used too. last year I bought some peaches that swiveled up like apples instead of going soft and rotting like real peaches. Even the roadside stands don't seem to have good peaches. I guess the hard ones are all they grow now.
My favorite fruit is dark sweet cherries. when I was a kid we used to go on vacation every year to Canada. They grew cherries there and they were really cheap. Since it was vacation my parents would let me eat nothing but cherries for a meal if that is what I wanted. I would eat so many I would have diarrhea that was the color of cherries.
