Aloha Noel & Jimmy,
They are "Florida Prince" and "Eva's Pride" peach varieties. Special low chill variety. They are about three-quarter the size of grocery store peaches, seem to have extra fuzz on them and taste much better than grocery store peaches.
There's a nursery in California, Dave Wilson Nurseries http://www.davewilson.com/ which specializes in low chill varieties of plants. The Eva's Pride peach tree and the lilac bush are from there.
I'm not sure if these are "table grapes" or not, they are really purple, have seeds and taste very grapey when they are ripe. It is probably some sort of concord variety and the folks around here seem to think they are "the kind of grapes they used to use to make wine with". It was from a cutting from an old grape vine in an old abandoned cane camp garden. They were getting ready to bulldoze the place and I got cuttings and starts from the lot of the plants before they were dozed over. There may be enough grapes this year to make jelly, I dunno about wine.
There is also a small red apple that grows here, although my tree is only about three feet tall so far. I should air layer it and start another tree or two. It also came from an old camp house garden.
