I press my fingers into them at the store...meaning I ruin all the peaches for everyone else and still can't find a good one. My mom buys the hard ones and sits them in the window for days, she tests their softness until they are perfect. I tried that but end up eating hard peaches, or mushy ones....
You think peaches are hard......try picking a good WATERMELON! Even when i follow the "rules" of picking a ripe one......i still end up with a crappy one,i HATE it!
