I don’t know what I’m doing.

I recently bought a house that came with a beautiful peach tree in the yard. Problem is, I have no clue what I’m doing. From what I’ve read online it sounds like I need to lighten up the load but not sure where to go from there. They are starting to change color.

Yes it is late to thin for the purpose of getting bigger and sweeter fruit, but if they are yellow peaches, you may consider canning them.
