MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) What good could possibly come from all of these hot, humid days this summer? Peaches. Lots of peaches.

``We are overwhelmed,'' said Diane Price of Memory Lane Farm in Parker City as she recently stood behind a table of more than 100 of them at the Minnetrista Farmer's Market.

She's not exaggerating.

``We are picking about seven hours a day and there are still plenty left on the trees,'' she said.

Her husband, Marty, said they are packing up, on average, 3,000 pounds of peaches a day.

``We've never had a summer like this before,'' he said. And that says something when you consider the couple has been growing peaches since the early 1980s.

The weather this spring and summer provided a perfect combination for peach growing, Marty said.

``The huge drinks of water we had early caused them to size up really well,'' he said. ``Then the heat came on and ripened them up fast.''

Too fast.

The Flaming Fury and Red Haven peach trees _ they have more than 1,000 trees producing fruit right now _ were weeks ahead of schedule this year.

``The August peaches got on top of the July peaches, so we had to let some of the July peaches go,'' Marty said.

Many of those peaches are available for ``you-pick'' each weekend. And the couple has added quite a few more farmer's market to the rounds, including ones in Winchester, New Castle, Pendleton, Noblesville, Indianapolis and Fishers.

It seems farms all over the Midwest and beyond are experiencing the early produce-palooza. Corn, blueberries and strawberries were also ahead of schedule, according to reports.

``The heat did push everything up for us,'' said David Guenthenspberger of Guenthenspberger Farms in Daleville. He was a few tables down from Memory Lane at the market. ``Everything is a little early.''

But he said he doesn't feel overwhelmed by the fuzzy fruit. Yet.

Weather can giveth and taketh away, according to Diane.

In 2008, a late spring frost knocked out more than 90 percent of their peach crop.

Now the couple is relying on friends and family to help them in the trees.

Indiana now ranks 25th nationally in peach production, offering up about 3.1 million pounds each year from more than 400 total acres.

But, who knows, after the year Memory Lane Farm is having.
